WASHINGTON (AP) -- Veteran reporter and commentator Daniel Schorr, whose hard-hitting reporting for CBS got him on President Richard Nixon's notorious "enemies list" in the 1970s, has died. He was 93.

Schorr died Friday at a Washington hospital after a brief illness, said Anna Christopher, a spokeswoman for National Public Radio, where Schorr continued to work as a senior news analyst and commentator.

It's about time somebody on CBS did some hard-hitting reporting on the current president.

Schorr won’t miss him. Never did take to being lied to by collectivists.

Prayers to his family and I hope he didn’t suffer but you can bet his kids are secretly glad he went before January first.

Just like John Kerry parking his yacht in R.I., I’ve never seen a liberal not take every deduction they could come tax day.

Godspeed, Daniel Schorr. Leftist? I don’t know, yeah, I suppose so but at least he participated in actual journalism unlike the Red Diaper Doper Babies writing and reporting for the Reich propaganda arm in 2010

He was a special type of putz...dreadful person. Exemplified the lying left and never thought their coverage was biased. Treated people on the right as sub-human. Only problem is there are many around today to replace him. With all that being said,

R.I.P., your day is done.

CBS executives were not amused when Schorr reported—incorrectly—that Barry Goldwater was said to "travel to Germany to join-up with the right-wing there," and visit "Hitler's one-time stomping ground" in Berchtesgaden, immediately after he became the Republican nominee for president[citation needed]. For obvious reasons, this did not fare well with Goldwater, who demanded an apology for the "CBS conspiracy" against his campaign for president.[3]

Liberal Media has gone on too long.

One can only hope that his death presages the death of the liberal nonsense he espoused at every opportunity.

Oh well. At least he died knowing he helped his Democrat party destroy traditional America.
I’m sure his family will probably miss him somewhat.

Well, he was a strange man; but the Good Lord rest him.

And then some, if the scumbags even bother to pay taxes. (See: Ubama administration)
