Ed Bradley, the veteran "60 Minutes" correspondent and one of the pioneering black journalists of his generation, died today. He was 65.
Bradley, who had won 19 Emmy awards, covered an incredible array of stories after joining the CBS newsmagazine in 1981, from brain cancer to sexual abuse in the Catholic Church to the high school shootings at Columbine.
He also reported a number of award-winning documentaries, covered political conventions and filled in on the "CBS Evening News" and other programs.
Bradley remained active on "60 Minutes," but he had been ill for some time and underwent heart surgery about a year ago.
"He was this gentle giant," said Bob Schieffer, CBS's chief Washington correspondent and a close friend. "He just did so much for so many African-American kids. He was a great role model."

No comment other than to say he was by far the most liberally biased of 60 Minutes' reporters.

Wow. What a surprise.
He worked right up to the end evidently. Just a couple of weeks ago I watched him do the Duke story.
I didn't like his politics, but he was a good interviewer.

I thought he did some good reports. He gave Rather a math lesson during one of the elections.

Was this a sudden "I just talked to him yesterday" type of death or a long process?
Not trying to be sadistic, im just curious.

I was just commenting on that on the other thread.
He looked thin, but he did a good job; a real trooper to the end.
