Newsman Roger Mudd dies at 93

Tune in for this Morning Joe conversation with Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski and Mike Barnicle as they honor legendary network television journalist and “wonderful man” Roger Mudd who has died at 93 years old. “Roger began as a newspaper guy in Richmond, Virginia. When he was a famous anchor, he was still the Roger Mudd from Richmond, Virginia….And you’re absolutely right: Ask a simple, direct question; you get a simple, direct answer and that’s the news of the day,” says Barnicle about Mudd’s effective interview inquiries, which were on fully display in the 1979 interview that wound up undermining the presidential hopes of Senator Edward M. Kennedy. Find out more about Mudd’s career here.
