RIP:Longtime journalist Daniel Schorr dies at 93

CBS reporter made Nixon's 'enemies list' in '70s; later, he offered commentary at NPR

Schorr has always been one of my favorite reporters and commentators. He’s a great journalist that can never be replaced. Only remembered and admired. Here’s an excerpt from the article:

“During the Nixon years, Schorr not only covered the news as CBS' chief Watergate correspondent, but he also became part of the story. Hoping to beat the competition, he rushed to the air with Nixon's famous "enemies list" and began reading the list of 20 to viewers before previewing it. As he got to No. 17, he discovered his name.”
