Assuming you're not joking here - Walter Cronkite was CBS New Anchor
before Dan Rather. He was 'the most trusted man in America' at one
time. You can check it out at;

Walter was the one who told us in November 1963, "The president has
been shot." and in 1969, breathlessly reported Neil Armstrong's trip
to the moon, recalling the fallen president's commitment to a moon
landing.

He retired in 1981 - before many who post here were born.
