Ed Bradley Dead: His Talent Was “Being Able To Draw People Out In An Interview”

CBS-turned-CNN correspondent John Roberts:

“Ed Bradley was one of those rare treasures in America, as a gentleman and particularly as a journalist. He was one of those people that, as a young person coming into this business, and even growing up in the business, and even now, you can look to and say, you know, that’s the way that I want to do it.

Ed Bradley just had such a tremendous personal way during his interview of extracting information from people. and giving them a sense of what they were all about. And that was really his talent, was being able to draw people out in an interview.”
