"Face the Nation" Host Bob Schieffer in Profile
I profile CBS News anchor Bob Schieffer in Tuesday's issue of The Hill. If you're interested in taking a gander...
CBS's Schieffer: This just in, 'I love my job'If you'd like to know more about Schieffer (beyond my profile, of course), consider checking out Schieffer's 2003 memoir This Just In: What I Couldn’t Tell You on TV. It's well-written conversational tone fits the highly interesting content very well and is a nice read for a cross country trip.
When Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.) last month announced on CBS’s “Face the Nation” his intention to seek the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination, host Bob Schieffer was taken aback.
“That’s the kind of thing you dream about happening,” says Schieffer, 68. “You love for big news to be broken on your broadcast. And I think that was a pretty good news story.”
That was far from the first such moment in Schieffer’s long career in journalism, which began after he graduated from Texas Christian University in 1959. Schieffer has found himself in the right place at the right time — or placed himself there — many times over the years.
