On Ed Bradley - 60 Minutes
The death of Ed Bradley, news journalist of 60 Minutes has brought accolades for his pioneering work. Bradley was 65 years of age and succumbed to leukemia.
According to himself he was a performer who could “play all the positions, hit for average and power”.
Bradley’s career encompassed nearly 26 years of 60 Minutes. The scorched earth event in the United States entitled AKBAR (there is a real name) has encompassed 19 years with a genesis on June 17, 1987. This is also the anniversary of the United States Constitution and the date of the breaking out of WATERGATE.
Mr. Bradley, 60 Minutes and the commercial media are nowhere to be seen in spite of their million dollar salaries.
Rush Limbaugh has just went on the air denying that he has “carried anybodies water” in the wake of the solid beating the Republicans and conservatives withstood in the recent midterm elections.
As with Peter Jennings, is Ed Bradley, is he “going along to get along or just GETTING ALONG”?
Mr. Bradley may of “played all the positions”. He did not “HIT FOR POWER”.
To this I say POWER REALITY.
Judge one by the hand and not by the mouth. History will teach that the largest domestic story of our times was purposely avoided by Ed Bradley. This is not taking the bull by the horns.
The demise of an elite journalist only focalizing the corruption on the media to profit and shape public opinion and advance one’s interest.
