Title: RIP Ed Bradley [1941-2006]
Post by: JFC on November 10, 2006, 12:33:04 AM

Ed Bradley was a pioneer on "60 Minutes." Never mind that he was the legendary CBS News broadcast's first black regular when they added his correspondent's chair in 1981. Among a reporter corps renowned for their collective, uh, experience (OK, let's say it, their advanced age), Bradley, then 40, was definitely the young turk. He even wore an earring, off-camera only, until his "60 Minutes" presence was established enough to chance the on-air flak of the time (http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/am-bradleyobit1110,1,4557659.story?coll=chi-news-hed&ctrack=1&cset=true)

WERD. I had no idea he had lukemia.

RIP Ed Bradley. I didn't like how they ripped him for being soft on Michael Jackson. He was one of the only reasons to watch 60 Minutes :(
