Well, Uncle Walter is gone now. I know many never saw him in his heyday. I barely did, and I gotta tell you, not too many of today’s TV news people, most of whom are more celebrities than reporters, can hold an unlit candle to the likes of him.

Never again is it likely that one personality will have so much influence over US national opinion, and let’s all hope not, because unlike Walter, if such influence were to arise again, that individual would very likely abuse it. No intention here to be negative, but that just seems an inevitability, given the nature of our times.

Walter was a TV personality and a reporter when it actually meant something. He was an authentic giant. Now we find ourselves surrounded by pretentious Lilliputians.

But we will carry on. What else is there to do?
