From CNN’s launch on June 1, 1980, Shaw delivered to viewers breaking news in a warm voice and matter-of-fact style, helping the upstart 24-hour news network gain stature against its broadcast rivals.

The veteran broadcast television journalist was CNN's first chief anchor, a position that earned him the trust of millions of viewers across the country.

Shaw raised eyebrows with his first question to Dukakis, who was then the Democratic governor of Massachusetts. Bush and Michael Dukakis in the lead-up to the 1988 general election.

For years, Apple touted its products under its "Think Different" tagline. It's classic late-90s, early-aughts Steve Jobs energy.

The three-square-meals model is now something of a relic of the Industrial Revolution. Pour in some cold water, let the milk rehydrate, and voila. There was still a bit of that spirit, sure, but it was hard to ignore the darker message that not only do Apple products save lives, not having Apple products could be fatal. The somewhat cynical reality here is that Apple products are top shelf, and inflation is eating into people's disposable incomes. (OK, most nights — we believe in a four-day work week around here.)

"The world has lost a hero for democracy and truth." And to you around the world and across our great land here in the United States, more than your praise I have valued your criticism and your suggestions. He was also known for being cool under pressure -- which was exemplified with his coverage of the First Gulf War. "I thought it was the last frontier in network television news," The condolences of all of us at CNN go out to his wife Linda and his children."

Privately, he told me “Never again.” He covered the war in Vietnam and the Jonestown massacre. He was both the inspiration for my career and life. He returned to the roaring applause of the newsroom. Management felt the risk for Bernie was low. Bernie ran to his office and came out a few minutes later telling me to get him on the air. I was impressed by his calm style and his ability to bring the audience into the process. He had a letter from Walter Cronkite welcoming him to CBS on the wall of his office. He also had a few Emmys stuffed into the corner of his desk. He was solo on the anchor desk which is very difficult in breaking news because producers have to talk to him while he is talking. The puzzle pieces move a lot at CNN, but the time I remember most fondly was when we recruited Judy Woodruff from CNN. His coverage from Baghdad prompted NBC News to do an unprecedented interview with him from Baghdad on the Nightly News. Bernie took us from the Chicken Noodle News days to our innovative coverage of the first Gulf War.
