Majority of Americans Disapprove of Trump’s Handling of Economy and Iran War, CBS News Poll Finds
A recent CBS News poll reveals widespread dissatisfaction among Americans with President Trump's management of the economy, inflation, and the war in Iran.
Walter Cronkite is vividly remembered by many Americans for breaking the news of the death of President Kennedy on Friday, November 22, 1963. Cronkite had been standing at the United Press International wire machine in the CBS newsroom as the bulletin of the President's shooting broke and clamored to get on the air to break the news. However, cameras were not ready for use and Cronkite would be forced to break the news without them while one warmed up. At 1:40 p.m., a "CBS News Bulletin" bumper slide broke into the live broadcast of As the World Turns (ATWT). Over the slide, Cronkite began reading: "Here is a bulletin from CBS News. In Dallas, Texas, three shots were fired at President Kennedy's motorcade in downtown Dallas. The first reports say that President Kennedy has been seriously wounded by this shooting." · Photo by CBS News · Public domain · Source: wikimedia
