Bernard Shaw

 

News reporter and anchor Bernard Shaw died Wednesday.  He was 82.

Local TV, CBS, ABC and then CNN.

Shaw was just what CNN needed when it made its debut in 1980.  He brought instant credibility to the young network.  He was in the chair when President Reagan was shot in 1981, and he was in Baghdad when the first Gulf War started.

Bernard Shaw was as solid as they come.  He was one of those anchors you instantly trusted, and there aren't many of them around.
