Edward R. Murrow, National Hero
Tuesday, March 9, 2004
Fifty years ago today, one of the most influential news broadcasts in history aired. The report, part of Edward R. Murrow's See It Now series, dealt with Sen. Joseph McCarthy's accusations that many in government and the media were Communist dupes. Legendary journalist Walter Cronkite recalls the occasion as the night network television shook off its timidity and called the bluff of a bully.

Don’t worry I can take it, but my post was only a joke. I’m no McCarthy fan or a communist dupe.
