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

He was definitely a great journalist that many reporters nowadays should be trying emulate. RIP Mr. Bradley.

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
