Perhaps the end of an era when journalism and truth were even possibilities. I grew up listening to Daniel Schorr and I will miss him.

My Saturday mornings will be changed forever. The voice of truth, the voice of reason. A genuine journalist.

I agree with the positive comments on Schorr’s work, but I think NPR did him a disservice by keeping him on the air in the last few years. His commentaries became rambling and difficult to decipher, often not even making a point. It wasn’t a great way to go out, in my opinion. But I remember wtching him on TV in the 70s. He was very, very important during the Watergate era. It was the kind of journalism that has largely been stamped out.
