Walter Cronkite Passes Away at 92

He was known as one of the greatest voices in American news broadcasting. Walter Cronkite, age 92, passed away this evening from cerebral vascular disease. Cronkite worked for CBS from 1962 to 1981 and became known as "The most trusted man in America." Over his long career as broadcaster Cronkite was also the first man behind a news desk to be called a newsanchor. The term has since stuck around and today many great newscasters such as Tom Brokaw and Peter Jennings are referred to in the same light. According to CBS Corp. chief executive Leslie Moonves, "He was a great broadcaster and a gentleman whose experience, honesty, professionalism and style defined the role of anchor and commentator." Cronkite passed at his Manhattan home surrounded by family. For this and other news please go to www.foxnews.com or www.cnn.com.

Palin Pulls Out

Is it the end of her political career, or is it the beginning of Palin's Presidential bid? Sarah Palin, the one time Vice Presidential candidate for John McCain during the 2008 election announced that she will be stepping down as Governor of Alaska later this month. Pailn has had her share of controversy's both publicly and privately since the election. For now it is unclear if the Governor will turn her her resignation into a bid for 2012 but whatever her plans Palin can rest assured that the GOP is watching. According to Representative John Culberson (R-Texas),"I know that liberals attack the most prominent and most likely Republican nominee, the more loudly liberals attack a potential Republican nominee, the more I think they're likely to be successful." While it is unconventional for Palin to resign in the middle of her first term of governor the party believes that her gambles have paid off in the past and that this one just might too.
