Bob Schieffer of CBS News Interviewed By WFAN's Mike Francesa



A couple of hours ago Mike Francesa of WFAN (New York) interviewed the host of Face The Nation, Bob Schieffer.

This was truly one of the more fascinating radio interviews I've ever heard. Mr. Schieffer was in Miami for CBS's Super Bowl coverage, and will be interviewing NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Sunday along with play by play man Jim Nance.

When the talk came to Schieffer's career, it became spellbinding. Among the subjects he talked about were the nature of news media today, the toxic politics we live with now, his favorite public figures, his relationship with the late Walter Cronkite, and the first time he saw Lyndon Baines Johnson.

But the most interesting topic of all had to do with the events of November 22, 1963- the day John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Its the story of the young print reporter, Bob Schieffer and a phone call he got that day from a woman.

I won't spoil the story for you....

Be sure to mute the music playlist located in the left hand margin.

Amazing stuff...this guy really has become kind of a national treasure.
