Daniel Schorr Died at 93

Daniel Schorr died in Washington Friday. He was 93. Schorr had covered the world for more than 60 years, spending 24 of them at CBS News. He had one of the longest careers in broadcast journalism.

Born in the Bronx the son or Russian immigrants, Schorr was brilliant, brash and abrasive. He clashed not only with government officials but news management and left CBS in the uproar that followed his leaking of a congressional report about questionable activities by the CIA.

In 1979, Schorr joined the fledgling CNN and in the mid-’80s moved to NPR, where he worked until his death.
