Edward R Morrow

Unless I'm wrong, I think George Clooney's movie on Edward R. Murrow is a worth-see.

First, there are a lot of similarities between the McCarthy era and today - something I never, ever, ever, ever expected to say during my lifetime (McCarthy predated me). Second, it's a glimpse at how even in those days, networks and media giants were very concerned with issues other than accuracy of news.

Third, Clooney strikes me as remarkably astute in politics and in other areas. Not just another pretty face.
