"Nothing got in front of the news for Walter Cronkite," says Bob Schieffer in remembering his longtime boss.
Cronkite, the iconic CBS News anchor, died Friday at 92 after a long illness.
Schieffer, now CBS News Chief Washington Correspondent and host of "Face the Nation," summed up what he says was the essence of Cronkite on "The Early Show Saturday Edition":
"Walter loved the news. And people understood that. Nothing got in front of the news for Walter Cronkite. He had this great respect for the news, and the people who covered it and also the people who made it."
