Edward R. Murrow
It is well to remember that freedom through the press is the thing that comes first. Most of us probably feel we couldn't be free without newspapers, and that is the real reason we want the newspapers to be free.
Edward R. Murrow
I would like television to produce some itching pills rather than this endless outpouring of tranquilizers.
Edward R. Murrow
In order to progress, radio need only go backward, to the time when singing commercials were not allowed on news reports, when there was no middle commercial on a news report, when radio was rather proud, alert and fast.
Edward R. Murrow
