I'm sure it was the same during Cronkite's era, but I was too busy with my social life and rarely watched the news. I got most of my news from papers and magazines. Can't say I remember much about him or any TV news for that matter.

The only times I watched TV was when a little girl fell down a well and they had round the clock TV coverage as they dug to rescue her. The other time was when Kennedy was assassinated. Even during Watergate, I read papers, magazines and books about it - didn't watch TV.

In the Cronkite era, David Brinkley was more "fair and balanced", imo, and possibly ditto for Chet Huntley, but he retired in 1970 and I don't remember him as well.
