CBS' Ed Bradley Dies at 65

Ed Bradley, a veteran 60 Minutes reporter, passed away from complications from leukemia earlier today. He was 65.

CBS News:

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.

I have to admit that I did not know Bradley was ill; in his interview with Tiger Woods a couple weeks back, I didn't notice him looking ill.

Bradley is considered one of the greatest broadcast journalists of his, and, indeed, any era. I have yet to find anyone with anything to say bad about Bradley. He will be missed.
