  • I watched this movie in high school, and Murrow’s infinite wisdom in such morally trying times has always stuck with me. At graduation, my english teacher allowed us to write one quote on her wall, I chose: “The obscure we see eventually. The completely obvious, it seems, takes longer.” -Edward R Murrow

    Every member of the civilized world should watch this.

    Ugh, I love Edward R. Murrow so much. I wish I could hug him!
  • As a London boy of the blitz and the Battle of Britain. I can remember this man on the BBC along with other famous names broadcasting on Radio It was comforting to hear that somebody else in the world knew what we were all going through, and he (Ed Murrow) was there with us out there with the firemen and the heavy rescue .Looking back we were all front line soldiers age 6/7. In the end I was evacuated to a mining Village in Yorkshire! I was a novelty from Mars! We were all trained at School on gas attacks and gas masks and blast protection. We had to know the nearest Gas cleansing station and bomb shelters. I could write a book about it. , but Murrow describes very accurately.

    "We must remember that accusation is not proof." I think we've forgotten...
  • I didn't know about this great man until yesterday when I saw the movie "GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK", directed by George Clooney, and recommended by a Puerto Rican compatriot in the comments section of a Jimmy Kimmel video. My father was one of those migrants who every yr would leave his wife and two little kids alone in Puerto Rico in order to go make ends meet picking apples in either New Jersey or Connecticut. Sugar cane season would only last about six months and so those workers had to find a way to put food on the table and so that's what the vast majority of them did, including my father. Didn't really understand how difficult they had it until today watching this program. Thank you for sharing.

    I'm a little disappointed that Ed Murrow seemed to go against his morals after he took the government job. He's even sweating when asked about the "Harvest of shame," the documentary he'd tried to stop the Brits from showing in their country. Then, again, as his friend said, Murrow was human. So, he can be forgiven because, overall, Ed Murrow was a good, decent & quite an accomplished man. It's saddening that he died relatively young. May he RIP. Damn cigarets!
