Walter Cronkite

as people and “hence no longer feel the need for party guidance.” Politicians running for elections are not taken as seriously as they should; they are looked upon as celebrities than politicians. They should judge them towards their ideas and opinions and their improvements on the country they will bring. People running for elections are taken childishly but they should be concerned because that person running might actually win and it will affect you; considering celebrities are constantly taken out of context and people think they know them off of “false” rumors. In Source E, the Vietnam War was in favor for our side stated by Washington and Saigon; The CBS television newsman Walter Cronkite said he wished to observe that in person. When he returned, he said the war was hopeless “So if Walter Cronkite thought that the war was hopeless, the American people would think so too, and the only thing left was to wind it down.” (Source E) This goes out to show that influential people can cause problems for candidates because of misinformation. When something is put out there, sometimes people don’t go back and change their mindset on that specific person. So when something is put out to the world, that can influence an innumerable amount of people. In a vastly diverse country such as America, it becomes very difficult to gain supporters when there are all kinds of demographics to impress. There is a feeling of restriction, that the genuine opinions and ideals of the candidate…

Columbia Broadcasting System, or CBS, began in 1927 and continues today as an active news television network. For years CBS has been keeping their viewers up to date on all of the information they need to know to help them get through the day. The end of every day became special because the CBS Evening News helped viewers prepare for the next day ahead; and to help these viewers get ahead was none other than the infamous Walter Cronkite. Walter Cronkite was a household name from the 1960s all…

The screen opens with a slow, artistic piano, visually accompanied by images of black and white ‘Breaking News’ headlines, studios and clips of historical male journalists such as Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite. The classical piano keys reach a crescendo, harmonizing with an emotionally moving string ensemble, simultaneously flashing forward to a modern newsroom as the characters are shown to the audience. The juxtapose between the two newsrooms serves to embed a certain historical…

“In 1995, a marketing firm determined that Walter Cronkite was still America's most trusted TV personality. Cronkite's response to the polls was typical of his modesty and sense of humor: ‘They must not have polled my wife’” (Newsmakers). When someone has witnessed a vast amount of history that is an amazing success, however, when someone has reported over fifty years of history, that is a terrific triumph. Walter Cronkite did just that. He worked through several influential decades of news…

Comparison Between The Three Poems In the poems “The Passionate Shepherd” by Christopher Marlowe, “The Nymph 's reply to the Shepherd” by Sir Walter Raleigh, and “Raleigh Was Right” by William Carlos Williams, all share a central idea in unit one. They all view nature, either bad or good. The Shepherd and the Nymph both share images that tend to have the same thinking. In all the three poems, the authors depict how society views nature. Nature on the other hand, people view as beautiful, and…

world today is not new or unique, but it has been manifested in different ways throughout human history. This reality, in part, is what gives the message of the Bible a timeless quality and relevance in the lives of Christians today. Overtime, however, something has been lost. The power of the story of God and His people has been robbed of its promise and power. Brueggemann writes, “The contemporary American church is so largely enculturated to the American ethos of consumerism that it has…

The effect of stepping back in time is also demonstrated through the differences between the novel’s two romantic love interests. Rose is introduced by her full title of “Miss Rose Bradwardine” (Scott 41) whereas Flora is “The Chieftain’s Sister” equating her to the old highland traditions. Time is malleable and something Waverley moves backwards and forwards through; this equates with the narrator of the novel and Scott himself, describing class issues and political rebellions and fights for…

“The Passionate Shepherd to His Love” by Christopher Marlowe and “The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd” by Sir Walter Ralegh express ideas on love and time. However, Sir Walter Ralegh approaches the concept more realistically by using the nymph’s outlook on these topics, while Marlowe describes them in a more a dream like state through the shepherd’s view. Through the carpe diem theme, Marlowe conveys the shepherd’s views of love and time, whereas Ralegh more practical and naturally articulates the…

In Marlowe’s “The Passionate Shepherd to His Love,” the shepherd paints an idealized view of the rural life for his lover as a means of a confession of love . He attempts to convince the woman with his planned promises before she accepts his offer. The list of the promises goes from living in the mountains to materialistic objects, such as coral clasps. His offers may seem to be beyond what a shepherd can normally reach for, due to his status. However, the shepherd creates a contract for the…
