OT: RIP Charles Osgood

[bac2therac]

CBS Sunday Morning News staple dead at 91. His delivery so comforting and simple...better times

 

[Ataylor1989x]

The last of the unironic bowtie mainstream figures

Was he the one that had the secret marriage?

Wrong Charles. I was thinking about Charles Kuralt.

Wikipedia says Osgood attended St. Cecelia HS, Englewood NJ. Cross paths with Vince Lombardi?

Vince Lombardi was 20 years older.

Vince Lombardi was 20 years older.

Guess Osgood did not play football.

Guess Osgood did not play football.

Lombardi was HC at St Cecilia in '42-'46. Osgood was born in 1933

RIP Charles Osgood......Journalism and CBS News has lost a real journalist , not the woke idiots that impersonate journalists that have abandoned objectivity and lost credibility and relevance with much of America. I always enjoyed his witty and interesting take on all things America.....

He definitely walked to a different beat in a very entertaining way.

Here is a funny poem he wrote.

He was a classic. Miss the lyrical tone of his voice along with the content of his essays.

I remember how when I was younger, my dad would comment that he was his favorite newsman (especially his Sunday morning show). I think he was one of a kind and had the ability to tell a story well without an obvious political filter. May he RIP.

I was the subject of one of his radio shows. I never met him. CBS interviewed me, then they added his voice as commentary for the broadcast. I have the cassette tape of the show somewhere in my basement.

I always enjoyed listening to him. Media was very different back then.

Another real newsman gone. So different from the political hacks on both sides we see today.
