Sadness

I always thought he was one of the greatest reporters left.



60 Minutes' Ed Bradley Dead at 65

Breaking news from the AP wire: Ed Bradley, the award-winning CBS newsman who has been a correspondent for 60 Minutes since 1981, died of leukemia on Thursday. He was 65. Bradley's long career was marked with an assortment of honors, including a Peabody award (for a June 2000 report on Africans dying of AIDS), a Damon Runyon Award for career journalistic excellence, and 19 Emmys, the most recent of which was earned for a segment on the reopening of the racially motivated murder case of Emmett Till
.

And who do we have now? Katie Couric?

Please.
