Ken Bode, political reporter who moderated the public affairs roundtable 'Washington Week' for PBS, has died at 83.
“If that’s the direction the show is going to go, I’m the wrong moderator anyway,” Dr. Bodeafter his ouster. “I think they’re making a mistake. … One of the things I’m really proud of with that program is there are times when we have three Pulitzer Prize winners sitting at that table. We bring in people who are really covering the news to empty their notebooks and provide perspective, not to argue with each other.
Dr. Bode was working for McGovern at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, where he tried to corral delegate votes on behalf of an anti-Vietnam War peace plank. In his early 30s, he left academia behind to spearhead an effort to open the Democratic Party to women, young people and minorities, after years in which a select group of White men functioned as party power brokers.
As a reporter, Dr. Bode was “an insider’s insider,” Brokaw added, with a fluency in campaign strategy that helped him cultivate relationships on both sides of the aisle. He appeared on shows including “Meet the Press” and “Today,” where he delivered a weekly report called “Bode’s Journal,” before leaving NBC in 1989 to teach at DePauw in Greencastle, Ind.
