I did some research to back your claim, searching for articles that would point out how he changed news. I failed to find the analysis I sought-after* but I did find a bunch of articles indicating that this was coming, sadly (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/26/arts/television/26arts-CRONKITEISSE_BRF.html?ref=television http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/26/arts/television/26arts-CRO...).
*Interesting that Google is flooded with reports about his death. I'm about to try Bing, but what I would expect is that such reports would be limited to news.google.com but rather, 25 pages in, reports about his death still come up. His wikipedia article is one of the few exceptions. EDIT: Bing does a bit better but still, I never realized how poorly search engines manage live content. On the one hand, they update their cache quickly and rank them correctly, but news articles should be news, not content results(?).
- quisxt 17y agoI can think of two notable cases where he "changed" the news. The first was his editorial after the Tet offensive, which I already posted above. The second is his (behind the scenes) role in taking on McCarthy as part of Edward R. Murrow's See it Now broadcast. It might still be a bit of a stretch to call it hacking the news, but it's not much of a stretch. NPR has a piece about the See it Now episode, as told by Cronkite, on their site: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1753982 http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1753982
