TV pioneer Tom Snyder interviews Mayor Dennis Kucinich at Tony's Diner

Broadcasting pioneer and legend Tom Snyder, who passed away Sunday, July 29, came to Cleveland in 1978 to interview then-Mayor Dennis Kucinich. It was "classic" Tom Snyder, and we offer this video to pay tribute to him and to the style and approach that set him apart from other broadcasters.




"Tom Snyder was an innovator and a very serious journalist who really mastered the in-depth analytical interview," Congressman Kucinich said on hearing of Snyder's passing. "He was very funny, he was bold...it was an honor to be on his show. He asked tough questions, and I will miss him, " said Kucinich .

We all will. And here's an example of why.

Kucinich the only candidate worthy of being President of US. Go Kucinich!!!

he's rather particular with who he calls a "special interest", demonizes business and embraces labor unions - both special interest groups.

Mr.Kucinich..it's so great listening to you discuss things with Tom.I'll share this with my kids so they can have a sense of how earnest young people were about their hopes for honest and fair and effective government back then and how some few really dedicated themselves to work to make those necessary desiderata a reality..Your acheivements early on have won you reelection to Congress ever since so as Tom might insert here with a wink "Keep on trucking!!" Peace

I and most of my college friends watched Tom Synder if we had a tv and some late night time.Ok...it was the only programming on beyond johnny carson but also because he'd spend an hour just like this chatting up some person in national press..usually in two easy chairs in) a gently spot lit smoke filtered studio. Tom Synder was the original Charlie Rose. His show started in 1975 and was very cool..this clip is wonderfull!!Thank you . Tv for smart people ..RIP Tom.
