Just a month after delivering his 1097th and final segment on CBS's 60 Minutes, Andy Rooney passed away last Friday due to surgical complications. He was 92. Rooney will be remembered fo
r his satirical, yet controversial commentary on various issues in the world, from the Iraq War all the way to the conquest of Libya, as well as the transition from communism (or totalitarianism) to democracy in the East.
For all of his success, Rooney had always downplayed his on-camera presence, instead he insists that he is a writer more than a television personality. Nevertheless, he will forever be etched in television history as one of the most reliable news personalities of his era, and one of the most opinionated. He'll be missed in the world of news commentary. R.I.P.
