If Cronkite dies , he'll be #1 in impact. I grew up watching his newscast. His voice will always be the voice of "news" for me.

And I don't think any really hit me with an emotional impact, but Jackson gets the biggest "Wow." -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 25, 15:00
Cronkite isn't already dead? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 25, 14:58 2
- No, but he is in hospital and doing poorly. -- nm - TWuG Jun 25, 14:59 1
  - I seriously would have said he'd passed away years ago if asked. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 25, 14:59
Farrah (she was my dreamgirl when I was 13. Posters in my room), MJ (Thriller was part of the soundtrack of my college years). McMahon (loved the - pmb Jun 25, 14:56 2
- McMahon was essential to the show as far as Carson was concerned. - TWuG Jun 25, 14:57 1
  - Don't disagree that he helped, but one was the icon and the other was a supporting player. -- nm - pmb Jun 25, 15:05
Fawcett, McMahon, Jackson. But like I said, because I have a closer connection to Fawcett's health issues. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 25, 14:56
Jackson who? I missed some news. -- nm - Remlik Jun 25, 14:54 4

Fawcett by a mile,Jackson, never heard of him. -- nm - Loyola Jun 25, 14:53

Jackson, McMahon, Fawcett. -- nm - CovingtonCat Jun 25, 14:52
the curse of the 3 strikes again -- nm - Guy Jun 25, 14:51 12
- now this stupid idea annoys me. -- nm - Reagen Jun 25, 14:53 11
  - im not giving it any more merit than the Madden curse, but it does seem to happen frequently -- nm - Guy Jun 25, 14:54 5
    - if this hadn't happened people would be fitting Carradine in with Farrah and McMahon to make it true. people are selective with this -- nm - zork Jun 25, 14:56 1
      - That would have started happening already, if so. Haven't seen that. I think his news cycle was too old ... -- nm - Beryllium Jun 25, 14:58
    - Only because well known people dfie frequently enough that ANY three could be grouped together. -- nm - TWuG Jun 25, 14:55 2
      - i dont think thats true -- nm - Guy Jun 25, 14:57 1
        
        Then run some statistical analysis proving it isn't. Well known people aren't any more likely to die than anyone else. -- nm - TWuG Jun 25, 15:00
  - Me, too. -- nm - mara Jun 25, 14:53 4
    - me thr -- nm - Max Jun 25, 14:54 3
