rushing back to my dormitory to see walter cronkite's last broadcast. that was a time when the country had a fairly broad set of objective facts that we could agree on. people had differing opinions about what to do with that, but at least we could agree on the basic facts. then we moved to a model where we had different cable stations, and people would tune in to the station that was more reflective of their views. now, information has been so democratized that you can live in a particular information bubble online. i used to say that most young people get their news from facebook. now you can actually say most people. most americans get their news from facebook. it is a revelation when i tell constituents that when they go to their facebook page and i go to mine, and we see those stories that pop up below, they are not the same stories. i think people are under the impression we are seeing the same thing when we go on our facebook page. we are not. one of the things that was hammered home to me as we began

there was a time in my life when walter cronkite reported the news. you might not agree with him, you knew it was the truth. and then along came dan rather. and then this is where we are today. thank you. >> guest: dan rather, interestingly enough, is still active andll has become very anti-trump, so he's obviously more in opinion mode now. look, there was a time when, you know, huntley, brinkley, walter cronkite had a lot of respect, most americans got their news from the three network newscasts. that time is long gone. social media, the internet, cable news, it's a much more fractured and polarized media universe, and that is created more punditry, analysis. thesi days of cronkite, and i kw him and had great respect for him, but they're not coming back. >> host: as far as your own show and profession, how do you personally keep editorial -- >> guest: i have complete independence. if i make a mistake, it's on me. we all make mistakes, and i try to keep that in mind. and people sometimes think -- and i got this when i've worked for other news organiza

this is walter cronkite.ight. >> remember that lyndon johnson is president of the united states in 1968, and no president until donald trump has ever consumed as much news as lyndon johnson did. in what some considered a sacrilege, he had three tvs installed in the oval office along with two teletype machines from the ap and up wire services. both of them clanked away inside a soundproof box in the oval office. and in a story that may combine folklore and exact quotes, after hearing cronkite's remarks from night, the president said some version of if i've lost cronkite, i've lost middle america. of course 50 years ago tonight 1968 was just getting started. both martin luther king jr. and bobby kennedy were assassinated in a matter of months. lyndon johnson decided not to run for reelection, and the war in vietnam dragged on for another seven years. that is our broadcast for this tuesday evening. thank you so very much for being here with us and good night from nbc headquarters here in new york. >>> this morni

basically we are in his own talking about the walter cronkite culture, people honestly who come to festivals or carry tote bags but they all say they want that. but the readings would be higher. and to admit because we are human beings and the fallen world rely conflict. and then we let the people watch. and running away with the culture so we don't talk a lot about followership but we should because in a democratic political culture, if it didn't work they would not be doing it. because their value is reelection. >> media candidates and people. then they tell people to vote that way. >> and then if you find out who your people are to mobilize them to win the election that is the business of politics. to say that would divide the country. nobody pays you to say i want to make a point but i don't care who wins. >> and there is one former politician but the senator back in the era when people say there was still civility. if you don't mind to shout out.

for me and their penthouse as a younger kid my first book and low and behold in a tuxedo was walter cronkite. i kept an eye out and when he got to me he said that was a wonderful time we had sailing together. he thought it was david's son. he always put in a position to say you know. i wa was onstage recently with a very prominent person interviewing him and he kept asking me as you wrote about grant, the hamilton point how many of you have someone walk up and they are convinced that you are some other person? i have one which was phil donahue. nobody cared when the show went off the air if i did because of the great treatment. >> baker ran for the attorney general and 78 and he lost. he was on his way out to the ranch and filling up his truck with gas and a boy walks up to him and says has anybody told you you look a lot like jimmy baker. he says yes, sometimes. he said doesn't that just piss you off?

that's not nearly what it used to be when walter cronkite and huntley and brinkley were doing it, whereonly source of news. because, you know, what you say is absolutely valid. people are getting their news all day long, so i think the 6:30 news now sort of gives you further insight into the news as opposed to just reporting the news. and i think they do well. they do better in times of crises. obviously during the hurricanes, people want to see what's going on. but now with the advent of these big cable news networks, and also with all that you get online, they become a bit less important, but 23 pillion people are still a lot of people. david: ok. so you have recently had your head of your cbs evening news show go to "60 minutes." do you have any announcements you want to make today on the who the replacement is? leslie: nope, we have an acting person doing the job, and we're talking about what we can do for the future, but we have no announcements. david: you don't want anybody -- leslie: we're not making news today, no matter what you say. david: ok. you wouldn't consider having a p

when i came to work at cbs in the days of walter cronkite the evening news drove the boat. because that's where the commercials were, that's where the largest audience was. the evening news which is a pretty good crowd., - in fact, on any given day, more than those cable hosts at night, who get all the attention, right? - and as long as that continues to be the case, we're gonna have an evening news. let me just say a word about jeff glor. he's a fine, young reporter. i am a great believer in promoting from within. somehow going out and getting people from outside the organization and bringing them in, somehow that doesn't always work out. - always hire from. - always hire from. - that's the way i like it. - that's the way i like it. - this is really something less about him, than it is more about it. which is to say, is, the institution of the 22-minute, after you take the commercials out, evening newscast, is that an institution healthy enough that it will persist? - i think it is. i think it is, it's certainly at cbs for a while. i mean, for a while, i don't mean for a c

book sitting at the desk of my signing pen on dean acheson and lo and behold in a tuxedo was walter cronkitein line. i thought wow the guy watched in ohio is coming to my book signing on dean acheson. i kept an eye on him and i was talking to other people. when he got up to me he said that was a wonderful time we had sailing together. [laughter] he thought i was david's son. you are in that position to say well you know. i corrected him and i watched them slink out. >> a whole category on this i was on stage with a varied prominent person interviewing him and he kept asking me, as you wrote about your hamilton point. you think i am -- how did you handle that? >> something like this happens. how many of you have had someone walk up to an airport and they are convinced you are some other person? i used to be someone -- phil donahue. i got such great treatment. the show went off the air but i got good treatment. >> a great jim baker story. jim baker ran the only time he was on the ballot in the loss. he was on his way up to the ranch that friday after the election to his wounds. he is filling u

guys from cbs news, walter cronkite, you remember him? you got to let them come with you but just make sure they're protected. i said all right. here is what i want you to do. you be here, cameraman, you be farther back. i don't want to hear a word from you. take the pictures you need to take. if you need to talk to me, whisper to me, but we are going down there and i don't know what we are going to find. so we go down and we are actually walking in a streambed because you don't walk on trails. there were trails because that's where the north vietnamese had been and we are following chinese wire and i have with me a north vietnamese defector called a kit carson scout. we come to a bend in the streambed and he said, careful, could be ambush around the side. so i said, ok. he said, maybe you put men up on the hill. i pointed to one of the machine gunners and his assistant. i said, you guys, climb out. go up there and tell me when you are ready. we are going to go around the hill. if we start taking fire, i want you to blow away anything tha

right, and basically we're in a zone where having the kind of finish we keep talking about the walter cronkite culture, having a broad-based, on the one hand/on the other hand, people honestly who come to festivals and people who carry tote bags and people who try to get people to register to vote, they all say they want that. they all say they want the news hour. if everybody who said they wanted the news hour watched the news hour, the ratings would be higher. and so we should or be honest, it seems to me, and admit that because we're human beings in a fallen world, we like conflict. that's what people watch. and so this is not simply the ruling class running away with the culture. the ruling class is reflecting the culture in many ways. and i think that we don't talk a lot about fellowship in the country -- followership in this country, but we should. if it didn't work, they wouldn't be doing it. because their value is re-election. that's the unite of commerce. unit of commerce. >> both for the candidates and for the media. >> media, candidates, people. >> people, yeah. >> but the media's d

walter cronkite said you have to get both sides of the story.er side of the story. >> what is the other side of the story? look, you may say it's not what it's trying to do. there is balance, whatever. at the end of the day, the book is making the suggestion that president trump is on a spiritual journey, he's a man of faith. >> definitely a spiritual journey. it is not called the saint hood of donald trump. first of all, stories of the book will show a relational aspect he has with evangelical leaders just by themselves. we can go into other things. for example, once again, these are relational stories in the book. james robson is a tell aoe van gellist. they are praying in the suv, on the campaign trail. trump hugs him and says i love you so much. i really love you. that is probably breaking news right there. we have heard many times where he said i'm sorry. there are stories in the book about that. all of this other part that you never hear about donald trump. beyond that, there are spiritual advisers close to him saying he seeks them for pra

taking a journalistic standpoint with nonbiasness of walter cronkite with a lot of the action and motivationompanies like facebook and spacex had in their beginning days and the pace we are continuing. we have to show the people that we are going to take their place. and to be honest, i's like when you are an older person that is -- >> pointing to me. >> thank you. >> literally, how were you during katrina? >> 5. >> proved of my point. >> of when older generations are using cell phones. they have to pass it to us. we say give it to us. we'll take it. what we are doing with the political system. the older generation have failed us. we are not going to let that hatch pen to our children. >> one of the weird things about this, among many other thing. our live we were taught adults were to teach us. teach us how to tie our shoes. now we have to tell them what to do. >> do, just on a personal level. you are going to go back to schools when day for the first time. what are your thoughts? thoughts and feelings on that? >> think about it this way. imagine getting in a plane, getting on a plane crash

guys from cbs news, walter cronkite, remember him? here is what i want to you do. for a reporter, you be here, cameraman, you be further back. i don't want to hear a word from you. take the pictures you need to take. if you need to whisper to me. there may be five coming back. we go down and were walk iing o trails. a kit carson scout and former major and we come to a bend in the stream bed and he said it could be an ambush around the side. maybe you put men up on the hill. go up there and tell me when you're ready. i don't want to you blow away anything that does that. they started climbing up the hill and the cameraman says hold on. get that guy up here and he came up. i said what did you just do? he said, i had to get the shot. they were climbing -- did i tell you to keep quiet or not? >> yes, you did. i have a job to do, too. if you do that one more time i personally will shoot you and it won't be pleasant. it won't be pleasant for you. he was very quiet at that point in time. at the end of the patrol we had found mountains of north vietnamese equipment. lots o
