Good Night and Good Luck
I watched good night and good luck last night and I really enjoyed the movie. It shows you how far we have come in TV news broadcasting in 50+ years. The thought of being afraid to air your opinion about a political figure or party makes me laugh a little. You can not turn on a news channel these days without someone sharing there opinion about anything these days. I really did enjoy Ed Murro's character and after speaking to my parents about him they said he was one of the great TV news casters of his time. I am glad we were given some previewing of the McCarthy trail before hand, it gave me a totally different view on the movie than I would have had without that piece of history.

Ed Murrow and Walter Cronkite were a class of journalists that I fear we will never see again. Such a shame as I think most of society would have respect journalists as they were.
