I was saddened to read that longtime “60 Minutes” reporter Ed Bradley died today from complications from leukemia. If reporters get any better than Bradley, I haven’t seen ’em. That man was so smooth that just about everyone opened up and spilled their guts to him. Man, I loved watching his stories. I always learned something.
When you compare him to what passes for network news today (cough Katie Couric cough) you really appreciate guys like Bradley. Can you imagine Couric walking around the dangerous streets of Baghdad the way Bradley did Saigon during Vietnam? I didn’t think so.
