Detailed explanation-1: -As anchorman of the CBS Evening News, I signed off my nightly broadcasts for nearly two decades with a simple statement: ‘And that’s the way it is. ‘ To me, that encapsulates the newsman’s highest ideal: to report the facts as he sees them, without regard for the consequences or controversy that may ensue.
Detailed explanation-2: -His avuncular mien and adherence to journalistic integrity-exemplified by his sign-off line, “And that’s the way it is”-endeared him to the American public, and a 1972 poll named him “the most trusted man in America.” Cronkite covered nearly every American manned spaceflight from 1961 to 1981.
Detailed explanation-3: -Walter Leland Cronkite Jr. (November 4, 1916 – July 17, 2009) was an American broadcast journalist who served as anchorman for the CBS Evening News for 19 years, from 1962 to 1981. During the 1960s and 1970s, he was often cited as “the most trusted man in America” after being so named in an opinion poll.
Detailed explanation-4: -Cronkite was replaced as anchor of the program the Monday after his retirement, March 9, 1981, by 49-year-old Dan Rather, who had been with CBS News as a correspondent since the early 1960s and later became a correspondent for the network’s newsmagazine 60 Minutes.
