Today (March 9) marks the anniversary of the broadcast of Edward R Murrow's See It Now that brought the anti-Communist witch hunts of Senator Joseph McCarthy to the attention of the American public. Murrow and CBS showed great courage in airing the broadcast. Had public sentiment not gone in their favor, it could have been very very bad for them. I wonder if media today would have the same courage.
