Probably to the younger generation. They don’t hardly have a clue to this great newscaster. I think next to Edward R. Murrow, he more closely related to the eye network.

Where if there’s an error the newscaster can tossed the blame.

And this gentleman wasn’t afraid to voice his support against an unpopular war that was killing many soldiers of the sixties. And anytime you speak negative against any war.

They are the measure to all new generation to measure their reporting skills too.

A good reporter knows the job, he’s trying to relay to the masses.
