People in present time love political scandals and for that very reason, Edward R. Murrow would be very successfully if he were to live out his career now in 2010. Murrow was a famous american TV personality during the 1950's and the McCarthy era. He is more notably known for attacking McCarthy for his radical views during the red scare where american citizens were being prosecuted for allegedly having communist ties. Murrow did what many were afraid to do at the time, call McCarthy out for accusing people for supporting the communist party even when he had little or no evidence to support his claims. He would be very famous and popular in todays society and would most likely be the one calling out bush for his claims of how there were Weapons of Mass Destruction in the middle east when he too had little evidence. Im sure he would have a huge following on the liberal side now a days and would still be exercising his first amendment rights to the fullest extent. Its no wonder that George Clooney, the director of Good Night and Good Luck, made this movie during the Bush administration for McCarthy and Bush can easily be comparable. The enemy in the 50's was the Soviet Union and now its the various terrorist groups in the middle east. I believe that america would greatly benefit from Edward R. Murrow if he were still to be alive today but his time has come and passed and now it is on the shoulders of the citizens of america to keep their eyes peeled for any political wrong doings that might be occurring behind closed doors.
