I completely agree. Too bad he was a tobacco-addict and died at a young 57....

I don't know if you could describe smokers like Murrow as addicts, though. No doubt he would struggle to quit if he tried; but unlike smokers in the 21st century, he was never even faced with the suggestion of quitting. Smoking was as socially acceptable as drinking water, and smokers like Murrow simply thought nothing of it. There's something distinctly complacent about the cigarette that was always in his hand, as if it were less an active choice and more of an integral part of himself.

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.

My earliest memories of 13 were the early 1980s, when I watched Sesame Street. I remember going to West Orange to visit family back in the day, after taking the train to Newark, I'd see 13's studios right across the street from Newark Penn Station. Their present location is, ironically enough, one block away from NYC Penn Station.

One day there will be a jackass who will rip off my famous tag line. He will be a conceited moron who will be hated by almost everyone who knows him personally and he will be reportedly be very bad in bed!! His name Keith Olberman. May God pray for us all!!

Keith Olbermann may be a handful but he reports facts when most people make shit up or they're too personal.
