Egbert Roscoe Murrow

From book review to movie on the life of Edward R. Murrow ~ we are left with a parable for our times and not a history lesson.

Is the issue that modern journalists have been cowed by those in political power? Or is this merely a superficial cliché?

Is the truth that modern journalism is potent comparted to Murrow's vastly overrated televison output? Or are today's bloggers the new journalists?
