How horrible that less than 3 years after this, Murrow would be dead. Worse still, only 14 months after this, when JFK was killed, CBS, the network that Murrow built (News at least,) did not have him as a commentator, even in a token role. NBC had Kaltenborn (SP) and, feeble as he was by then, at least he was there for a few words.

The joy of Murrow...the challenge to the listener. How could you listen to this guy without challenging yourself...

Murrow was right---he saw what PBS on television (and NPR on radio) would one day become in over 200 American cities, even if some of the powers that be don't appreciate it even now.

Tsk Tsk. With WNET's well-deserved incredibly high ranking for quality programming and brilliant production (except for the local pledge drives), this YouTube clip slipped past "Quality Control". This historical clip completely loses sync by the end of the clip. You could fix it.

Before Channel 13 in Newark,N.J.became a part of WNET/PBS TV..it was a local independent,commercial tv station known as WATV/WNTA TV Ch.13 from 1948 to 1962.

@poughkeepsiejohn1 He would condemn them soundly for taking journalism to its lowest depths.

Yes, looking back at my comment after Olbermann went batshit makes me sound retarded. lol

@Deepstarr7020 Olbermann is an unhinged nut job. Period, end of story.
-
@poughkeepsiejohn1 Um, you conveniently left out all the bonafide nut jobs on CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS and the rest. Get a grip.

It couldn't save Olbie's job though. And Murrow had RATINGS!

If Murrow rose from the dead today, I believe he would personally slap the crap out of every single person on cable news, and then proceed to demand it be abolished.
