We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep into our own history and our doctrine and remember that we are not descended from fearful men, not men who feared to write, to speak, to associate, and to defend causes which were for the moment unpopular. - Edward R. Murrow. - See It Now -9th march 1954


Murrow is a symbol,a leader and the cleverest of the jackal pack which is always found at the throat of anyone who dares to expose individual Communists and traitors. And I am compelled by the facts to say to you that Mr. Edward R. Murrow, as far back as twenty years ago, was engaged in propaganda for Communist causes.
- Joseph R. McCarthy- See It Now - April 6, 1954

I always felt that Joe lived in a different moral universe. He asked himself only two questions. What do I want and how do I get it. Once he got rolling, you had to step aside. It was every man for himself, sort of what anarchy must be like.
-Edward Hart - 1983 - Lawyer who worked with Joseph MacCarthy

  1. what happens next is that murrow was sort of like a starter now more and more people will start speaking there opinion no matter the consequences. more news stations will cover stories against the government and more for the people and there message. if one rebels many are bound to follow and rebel right after. if they say he is an anarchist then many will follow his example and they too will rebel to the government like in the movie v for vendetta and good night and good luck.
