He didn't just define the role of anchorman. He was the man for whom the term was invented, as he covered the 1952 political conventions for CBS.

RIP.

You know what is somewhat sad...his passing will barely be more than a footnote in tv journalism, he set the standard for mainstream tv news/commentary, yet an entertainer that set the standard weird got more coverage by mainstream news.
