That's what I hear, although I think even Murrow was overrated. The problem with any assertions about the veracity and integrity of alleged "gold standards" such as CBS News and the New York Times is that we really have no idea how often or how brazenly they lied to promote the Democrat / socialist agenda. It has only been 15 years or so that the internet has been around to police the dirty bastards.

Understandably and to his credit, Murrow never forgot these early years in the Southern and Western United States and his family’s background as workers and farmers. Throughout, he stayed sympathetic to the problems of the working class and the poor. Characteristic of this were his early sympathies for the Wobblies (Industrial Workers of the World) 1920s, although it remains unclear whether Edward R. Murrow ever joined the IWW.
