Ed Bradley: A great reporter's reporter


May he rest in peace!

CBS) Veteran 60 Minutes correspondent Ed Bradley died Thursday at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan of complications from leukemia. Bradley joined the staff of the venerable news magazine 26 years ago. His consummate skills as a broadcast journalist and his distinctive body of work were recognized with numerous awards, including 19 Emmys, the latest for a segment that reported the reopening of the 50-year-old racial murder case of Emmett Till.

In a special report, CBS Evening News anchor and managing editor Katie Couric said Bradley was "considered intelligent, smooth, cool, a great reporter, beloved and respected by all his colleagues here at CBS News." "He certainly was a reporter's reporter," fellow 60 Minutes correspondent Mike Wallace told CBS News Radio. More on Ed Bradley.

An honest man is gone and we have so few honest non bias journalist. Let's hope the new generation can look at Mr. Bradley's style and honesty and copy it.
