Brutal year for tv legends. Re-upping this from who's writing a book on Barbara Walters and knew the one person with the best stories (often involving him) about her.

Richard Wald's story about taking Barbara Walters to see "Deep Throat" (she was curious but didn't want to go alone) was so hilarious that we drew disapproving stares at the Century Club when I interviewed him last fall for my BW bio. A giant in journalism; a wonderful guy. RIP. twitter.com/NBCNews/status…

The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. An end to “the war to end all wars”. Grateful for what my father wrote in about his father.

RIP ABC’s Dick Wald. Smart, sharp, principled guy. I went 2 for 3 getting op-eds past him as an ABC reporter and I forgive him for nixing that one on Clinton WH's executive privilege claim against the Smaltz/HUD independent counsel

RIP Richard Wald the gracious, steady, unimpeachably honest and competent #2 to Roone Arledge at ABC News, my boss from 1978-1985.
Roone was the volcano, Dick the cooling breeze.

He predicted 24 hour cable news (and its ills) 4 years before Ted Turner founded CNN. Godspeed .

Covered revolution in Africa, edited & befriended Tom Wolfe, Jimmy Breslin, Art Buchwald, named “Nightline”, taught scores of students , and was the model for William Holden in “Network”. Hell of a run Richard C. Wald. Hell of a run.

If I could turn back time: Daylight savings time begins 2 a.m. Sunday local time for most of the U.S. A poll conducted last October shows that most Americans want to avoid switching between daylight saving and standard time.

Re-create the Soviet Union? Or is Putin going for something even more traditional? The answer may lie in what historian James Billington wrote in 1970’s “The Icon and The Axe” …

Everyone should watch this. Sky News team comes under fire from Russian forces in Kyiv, despite making it clear they’re journalists.
Two colleagues were hit by bullets - corespondent Stuart Ramsay and Camerman Richie Mocker. They’re lucky to be alive.

Hey hey hey NYPD Blue did just fine after David Caruso.

Honored and more than a little sad to be making a final appearance tonight with the legendary @BWilliams in his next-to-last night hosting the @11thHour. Ending the day with him has been a singular treat these last few years. Television will no longer be the same after this week.

"laid low by a fabulism scandal... he acknowledged exaggerating an anecdote abt a helicopter ride in Iraq"
Here's to surviving a singularly unscandalous scandal. Williams was always good at his job, & he's been great on MSNBC.

BREAKING: I’ve gone home. Great to be rejoining Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation after 28 years. The place I started my media career, with the boss who gave me my first big break. We’re going to have a lot of fun….
