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.

  1. 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.
