A Few Words About Daniel Schorr
Posted by JimI was watching the Sunday morning show on CBS and was taken aback by the network’s scanty coverage of the death of Daniel Schorr. Like his rough take-no-prisoners style or not, this guy was a giant in electronic journalism. Their brief three minute bio-pic was an insult in my view.
I remember him most vividly during the Watergate affair but listened to him on NPR very recently. I hope when I am 93 I can sound as lucid and convincing as he did when I last heard that unmistakable voice. You know that voice, always with tinged with incredulity; somehow he communicated to us with his prose and timbre this point, “can you believe what they are trying to sell us?”
