#2 Maybe we should take up a collection to have him buried in some communist bastion of glee- Like North Korea.

Why spend 93 years in a country you hate?

#3 Nixon made him. If he doesn't get on the enemies list, he's just another commie worshipping network foreign correspondent, which are a dime a dozen.

#4 "Schorr reported--incorrectly"

Yup, that's Schorr.

I don't know if the good die young, but lately it seems the evil ~~b*stards~~ die old.

#5 History will teach that Daniel Schorr was a journalist. In reality, ever since his ink stained wretch years he was whats commonly known as a news analyst. Thats the niche of the profession that weaves opinion and speculation into a narrative and then masquerades itself as news. It was always ironic when Schorr would regularly voice his contempt for the low standards of modern journalism. Especially considering he was one of the early pioneers that not only made it acceptable - he helped create it.

#6 When we look back on a man's accomplishments during his life, his was reduced to four very short paragraphs. All four showing his lack of honor. He will not be missed.

#12 If you can find out where Lesley Stahl's drinking tonight, she'll probably buy a few rounds...

When he turned to CBS for help, however, he did not get an immediate answer, so he offered the report to the Village Voice, a left-leaning weekly newspaper in New York. The Voice published a 24-page supplement with the headline: "The Report on the CIA That President Ford Doesn't Want You To Read."

The low point during this time came when Schorr "dissembled" his word by not disabusing a CBS executive of the notion that perhaps Lesley Stahl, who worked with Schorr and who was then engaged to (and later married) Village Voice writer Aaron Latham, was involved in getting the report to the Voice.

Schorr said later that he was stalling for time in order to figure out how best to protect the person who had given him the report. But Stahl, who felt he had fingered her or Latham as a thief, was furious. Their colleagues took her side.

Though Schorr called Stahl to say he was sorry, his behavior engendered so much ill will that he was no longer welcome in the Washington bureau where both had been working.

#13 But Stahl, who felt he had fingered her ..... was furious.

ya know?....tu? you are evil. But so was Schorr. Whenever I heard his voice I immediately knew something that would hurt America was coming, and probably based on lies and half-truths, like my editing above. Schorr would've approved. To the POS, I'm glad you're dead.

#14 He was that creaky old voice they'd wheel out on NPR of late, right? The amount of time I've spent listening to NPR in the last 10 years is probably shorter than the time I've typed this. And I'm a fairly quick 10 fingered typist.
