The Tweeting of Walter Cronkite

They're strange bedfellows: the old guard of broadcast journalism, the new guard of Media 2.0.  But Twitter was atwitter with links and posts to YouTube videos of Walter Cronkite's most famous broadcasts yesterday -- check out an Associated Press aggregation of those Tweets here, or watch clips below:

Cronkite was the first to break news of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination in the spring of 1968.

Cronkite interviewed the president at Hyannisport on Labor Day weekend in 1963.

Perhaps his most famous broadcast, Cronkite breaks the news of President Kennedy's assassination.
