Like they say in radio,

Murrow had great chops.

Murrow nailed it.

[ExSoldier]

Edward R. Murrow was a poster boy for the New World Order and a member of the secret elitist cabal that is the Council on Foreign Relations. His belief system mirrors another "great" "journalist" of a slightly later era, Walter Cronkite. May they both burn in Hell.

[Misterioso]

Murrow was not a patriot by any means.

[Reagan Man]

Murrow, like Cronkite, was another of the darlings of liberal Democrats from sea to shining sea.

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.
