I wish this guy was alive and working today. Modern journalism is essentially prostitution.

I'm not a religious person, but thank God for Edward R. Murrow, for his bravery and uncompromising attitude.

Great documentary. The Holocaust deniers should see this video. Still, I never believe these people are genuine anyway in what they say anyway.

They are often trying to make some cheap political point. They shouldn't do it this way. Sure we may disagree with what Jewish people or Israel does from time to time.

To attach the memory of the Holocaust in these political discussions is way "below the belt".

They all know the truth. Everyone does.

well, until stalin, pol pot, hussein etc etc etc. As Plato said "Only the dead have seen the end of war."

They say that those who fail to learn from the past are condemned to repeat it.

We have failed to learn!

Dispite numerous enlightened comments here, and similar sentiments boasted by those who claim to be our leaders, Humanity has proved time and again it's unceasing talent for inhumanity. Not just in the evil men perpetrating such atrocity, but in the complacency of those that let it happen, and then try to claim ignorance later.

He could bring the pictures to your mind simply by his descriptions.  Todays "reporters"could never do that.

i totally agree

[Michael Shaver]

The late CBS president William Paley once called Murrow "a resolute and uncompromising man of truth". This piece of radio history is but a small example of why. We shall never see or hear the likes of Murrow again.

I wish I knew. I want to be a reporter when I'm older, but I assure you I will look to men like Murrow for inspiration. Hopefully, we can get a little of that back someday. I will do my best.

[Yahel Carmon]

Just, heartbreaking. You can hear how he's pained and lost by this sight.

[SEATTLEGRL1]

It's strange that no one can recreate this type of journalist today. They were all typically war correspondents.

Whatever happened to guys like this?
