NEW YORK---- Ed Bradley, a correspondent for ''60 Minutes'' since 1981, has died, CBS News announced Thursday.
Bradley died Thursday of leukemia at New York's Mount Sinai Hospital. He was 65.

How sad. I liked ol Ed Bradley particularly since we shared the same surname. I thought he was cool with his diamond stud earring. He was a top notch journalist, too. R.I.P., Ed. |

I was stunned to see this today. Mike Wallace said Ed Bradley was a very personal man and no one knew he was ill. He keep his illness private. He also said just recently, Bradleys mother came into one of their offices. He said she was just as tall as Bradely was, had a full head of very thick white hair and was a very regal woman in her 80's. It's a said day for all of us to loose the this giant of journalism.

The entire 60 Minute Sunday program was dedicated to Bradley. It is very hard to realize we will no longer see this major journalist any more. I really liked Ed Bradley. As everyone knows, there are not a lot of major black journalists in the media.

I saw 60 Minutes last night. What a great man - he was much loved. I took Ed Bradley for granted.
I thought he'd always be around  |
