His Nightwatch days at CBS were probably not rich-making, but likely paid
enough that with good investment advice from friends in the financial
industry, he could do well. Then, owning his PBS show and going back to CBS
in prominent positions would be lucrative before investing.

I don't know about "journalist," but he was right up there as
"interviewer." Of course, there's not exactly stiff competition for that
title, especially on a daily basis. As time passed, he fell into the sorts
of ruts that everyone who's on for a long time does, but for complicated
news, he was still the most likely person to have three guests who knew
what was going on and ask the sorts of questions that would help to explain
the issue.
