County Quote by Walter Cronkite
“Everybody knows that there's a liberal, that there's a heavy liberal persuasion among correspondents…Anybody who has to live with the people, who covers police stations, covers county courts, brought up that way, has to have a degree of humanity that people who do not have that exposure don't have, and some people interpret that to be liberal. It's not a liberal, it's humanitarian and that's a vastly different thing.”
