One of the last truly objective journalists. He said that while everyone had their opinions and biases, "we knew how to put all that aside to do our jobs."
"City of Heroes. April 27, 2004 - August 31, 2012. Obliterated not with a weapon of mass destruction, not by an all-powerful supervillain... but by a cold-hearted and cowardly corporate suck-up."
The passing of an era. RIP, Walt.
((I wish he had made it until Monday, the 30th anniversary of Neil Armstrong's giant step. I remember watching his coverage of the event and how downright giddy he was about it. I hope he wasn't too disappointed in the future we got instead of the future that seemed possible at that moment.
I've missed him since his retirement. It's like we lost the last newsman who wasn't trying to put a spin on things.))
That's the way it was, Walter. Thank you.
