Before we start cheering Edward R. Murrow, it’s good to remember that the Democratic Party of New York state invited Murrow to be their U.S. Senate candidate in 1958.
Murrow turned them down after having a long chat with...Harry Truman.
Murrow was also a central figure in the political destruction of Joe McCarthy.
History has shown that much of what McCarthy said about Communist infiltration of our government was completely true.
I got a conservative girl mad at me last year because she was complaining that there were no more Cronkites in the media, and I asked why that would ever be a bad thing. I guess time has a way of making people forget why leftist icons were leftist icons.
