Actor George Clooney said, "I don't want to live in a world without Walter Cronkite." I know what he means. Cronkite was an iconic representation of integrity and high values in reporting. Even though his standards have been long gone, it was comforting to have him there to remind us of our better selves. It's inconceivable, in the age of Cronkite, that a progressive could support a mayor who manipulated an election with lies and distortions. But today Portland is full of them.
Now who or what will remind us of our better selves?

I feel the same way as far as there being a world without Cronkite as well his ability of making people be accountable for their actions.Both good and bad. It is a world that isn't quite so bright without him here.
