Murrow’s real name was Egbert!The legacy of lies is endless with the Murrow-Friendly duo. Among them:
- Murrow lied about his age to get his first job at Columbia.
- He lied to his wife Janet about the affair he has while in England.
- Before that, he hid the affair with his teacher, Ida Lou Anderson.
- He was in fact a member of the commie union outfit, the IWW.
- Murrow lied to Robert Trout while at a Christmas party, thus kicking Trout off his program and giving Egbert his "big break", albeit drunk.
- Fred Friendly's real name was Ferdinand Wachenheimer.
But that sordid path strewn with lies is nothing compared to the falsehoods promulgated by Murrow-Wachenheimer to discredit the reputation of Senator Joe McCarthy.
