Bob Costa best of Later pt 2 Walter Cronkite David Brinkley Dan Rather

Here is part 2. Walter Cronkite tells some interesting tales during and after the broadcast of JFk's death. David Brinkley talks about most and least favorite presidents.

Cronkite was a legend and Costas is damn good. Costas has always been much more than a sportscaster.

This is great. I searched, but I can't find part 1. 🤔

I remember that broadcast when LBJ died very well

Wish we could go back to trustworthy CBS NBC and ABC

Cronkite's recollection of November 22nd is totally wrong. He was NOT on the air for five hours before Collingwood relieved him. He was relieved about 15 minutes after he announced the president's death and did not come back on for another 90 minutes...at around 3:50 PM. He stayed on until about 5:00 EST when he was relieved by Harry Reasoner...who stayed on until 6:30 when Cronkite then anchored the evening news. He was not in shirt sleeves all afternoon as he recalls.

Ya, and we’re going to believe you over Cronkite. Good luck with that.
