“...I’d like to see someone write some kind of expose on Murrow and how he had a detrimental effect on CBS...”

I wonder about CBS chief William S. Paley and his wife Babe Cushing and their influence on CBS politics. Babe was the daughter of pioneer neurosurgeon Harvey Cushing but she was a society girl and close to Truman Capote and other Left Bank notables. While Paley was known to watch the advertising and money angle of the biz he gave Murrow a boost.

[what's up]

I've read that Paley and Murrow had tensions over the "See It Now" format. Apparently, Paley didn't like the Murrow method of raking a person over the coals without giving the person equal time to respond. I think Murrow was the beginning of muck-raking TV.
