This is very sad news in the world of journalism.
Longtime CBS News correspondent Bob Simon was killed tragically in a car accident in New York yesterday. He was 73. I think Bob is best described by 60 Minutes executive producer Jeff Fager:
"Bob was a reporter's reporter. He was driven by a natural curiosity
that took him all over the world covering every kind of story
imaginable," Fager said. "There is no one else like Bob Simon. All of us
at CBS News and particularly at 60 Minutes will miss him very much."
His iconic voice and first class reporting will be greatly missed. 60 Minutes will not be the same without him. Mr. Simon was a true newsman...someone who put himself in the action to bring the story. He was an overall great reporter and greater human being.
