Veteran CBS news anchor Walter Cronkite is reported to be gravely ill, the Associated Press reports. Cronkite, 92, is the former anchor of "The CBS Evening News," and was the face of CBS News for more than two decades. He was named "the most trusted man in America" in a 1972 "trust index" survey, and he ended each broadcast with the reassuring signoff, ``And that's the way it is."
He has been ailing for some time, has reportedly taken a turn for the worse, according to TVNewser and other online sites, the AP reported. CBS declined to comment.
Cronkite left the "Evening News" anchor desk in 1981.
