@CBSNews This from Bill is also pertinent to those in the White House press corps: “I have no wasted sympathy on any occupant of the White House. They are out to present themselves in the best possible light, and it’s our job to find out, if we can, what’s actually going on.” (12/) — PolitiTweet.org

@CBSNews “Reporters are not here as guests. We’re here to ask questions. Why? Because if we were ever to agree to ‘behave,’ we’d be walking away from our First Amendment role — and then we really would be the shills we’re so often accused of being.” https://t.co/Qk6nNQLFOg (11/) — PolitiTweet.org

And here’s a retrospective on his 52-year career from when Bill Plante retired in 2016: https://t.co/H9UDlNNwdI — PolitiTweet.org

When John Lewis died, @plantecbs provided us with a reporter’s notebook/retrospective on what it had been like covering the then-young activist’s leadership of the civil rights movement: https://t.co/bVoizxBk5N (7/) — PolitiTweet.org

Ed O'Keefe @edokeefe

When I joined @CBSNews full time, Bill was one of the first to reach out and we kept in touch. He provided constructive, desperately-sought feedback and shared old stories of bygone days. It was beyond generous of him to do so. (6/) — PolitiTweet.org

Ed O'Keefe @edokeefe

So on Jan. 20, 2017 — a day so many of us in DC will never forget — @eliseviebeck and I got to spend most of those frigid hours out on the roof of @washingtonpost alongside Bill. He delivered the color and context and gravitas we needed. https://t.co/6kRI9CYGac — PolitiTweet.org

Ed O'Keefe @edokeefe

As a longtime viewer, I said to my Post colleagues, “What about someone like Bill Plante?” He’d recently retired from @CBSNews and likely would be available. An email to him was answered quickly: He was happy to do it. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed O'Keefe @edokeefe

We first met in 2016/2017, when at the @washingtonpost, we were planning live day-long coverage of the Trump inauguration. We needed someone who could help contextualize the day and could talk for hours — something newspaperfolk aren’t accustomed to doing. (3/) — PolitiTweet.org

Ed O'Keefe @edokeefe

I knew Bill and foremost as a viewer long before my CBS days and remember thinking of I ever covered the White House, I’d want to do it like him — succinctly, directly and with a touch of class and good cheer. (2/) — PolitiTweet.org

Ed O'Keefe @edokeefe
