What Would Edward R. Murrow Say?

Posted on April 8, 2008

Here's a great video about the unbelievable and very sexist media bias against Hillary Clinton. The opening features a greatest hits of news anchors and pundits who look like braying jackasses as they spew their venomous nonsense which portrays Senator Clinton as some kind of demonic, psychotic figure, a "nagging wife" or even : "an ex-wife outside the Probate Court." (He means Family Court, but none of these bozos lets facts influence what they say on TV).

Contrasted against the bombastic poseur known as Keith Olbermann in full rant mode is a scene from Good Night and Good Luck in which Edward R. Murrow talks about the power of television and journalism to teach. Then we see Hillary as a real person, in the many and varied roles that she -- like most modern women -- lives every day. It's worth watching the whole thing.
