hwpIn 1935 Ed Murrow
began his career with CBS.
When World War Two broke out...
...his voice brought
the battle of Britain home to us...
...through his "This Is London"
radio series.
He started with us all...
...many of us here tonight,
when television was in its infancy...
...with the news documentary show,
"See It Now.
He threw stones at giants.
Segregation, exploitation
of migrant workers...
...apartheid, J. Edgar Hoover...
...not the least of which, his historical
fight with Senator McCarthy.
He is the host of our enormously
popular show "Person to Person"...
...and tonight he is here
with his son, Casey...
...wife, Janet, and all of you
who hes worked with...
...inspired, lectured, and taught.
Ladies and gentlemen...
...the Radio-Television News Directors
Association and Foundation welcomes...
...Mr. Edward R. Murrow.
This might just do nobody any good.
At the end of this discourse
a few people may accuse this reporter...
...of fouling
his own comfortable nest...
...and your organization may be
accused of having given hospitality...
...to heretical
and even dangerous ideas.
But the elaborate structure
of networks...
...advertising agencies, and sponsors
will not be shaken or altered.
It is my desire, if not my duty,
to try to talk to you journeymen...
...with some candor about what
is happening to radio andtelevision.
And if what I say is responsible...
...I alone am responsible
for the saying ofit.
Our history will be
what we make of it.
And if there are any historians
about or years from now...
...and there should be preserved...
...the kinescopes of one week
of all three networks...
...they will there find recorded
in black and white, and in color...
...evidence of decadence,
escapism...
...and insulation from the realities
of the world in which we live.
We are currently wealthy, fat,
comfortable, and complacent.
We have a built-in allergy to
unpleasant or disturbing information.
Our mass media reflect this.
But unless we get up off
our fat surpluses...
...and recognize
that television in the main...
...is being used to distract, delude,
amuse, and insulate us...
...then television
and those who finance it...
...those who look at it
and those who work at it...
...may see atotally
different picture too late.
Millie! Just the person
I wanted to see! Come here!
This goes at the top
of the Roy Campanella piece.
Yes! Give me a half an hour.
I may need it
a little quicker than that!
- Can I get some coffee first?
- Come on! Get me some coffee!
Morning, Johnny!
I have some new notes that go
with the Tito footage for Fred.
Freds gonna be in
in an hour.
I already put them on his desk.
Can you just make sure that...
...he doesnt look at the film
until he reads the notes?
- Yes.
- Thank you.
Hey, Joe! Shirley!
- Whats going on in here?
- What do you mean?
Two attractive people
alone in the copy room!
Dont tell Paley, hell fire me.
Hell fire both of us, Shirley.
- Rules are made to be broken!
- You can afford to say that.
Let me see this.
- Its simply a loyalty oath.
- To CBS? - And to America.
You promise to be a loyal American?
I know. All of the reporters
have signed this.
Who are you promising this to?
CBS?
Fred signed it.
Murrow signed it.
- Murrow signed it?
- Yeah.
Are you now
or have you ever been...
I thought it was a joke,
but theres a lot of pressure.
...on the Attorney Generals list
of subversive groups?
- I dont know.
- Lets think about it.
What is it really saying? Is it a civil
liberties issue or censorship?
Am I simply stating to CBS
that Im not a Communist?
- Murrow signed this?
- And Fred and Stanton.
- Maybe you should talk toMurrow.
- Maybe I should sign it.
If you dont sign this,
are you and I a target?
If I dontsign it,
theyll fire me.
Sign it.
Finally we can tell everyone
the truth.
If I could express it
in whats in my heart now...
...Id do it in the terms
of the poet who once said...
..."Ah, tis but a dainty flower
I bring to you."
Yes, tis but a violet..."
"...glistening with dew."
"But still in its heart
there lie beauties concealed."
"So in our heart..."
"...our love for you..."
"...lies unrevealed."
I used to...
...pride myself on the idea
that I was a bit... tough...
...especially over the past
- months, when weve been...
...kicked around,
and bullwhipped, and damned.
I didnt think that...
...I could be... touched very deeply.
Okay, thats enough.
Thats enough, Leo.
- Its short.
- Howlong is the piece?
Its minutes,
but we can cut it down.
It cant stand alone, but it might be
a nice companion piece.
Lets go through this one more time.
Palmer!
Yep, got a call from the office
of Senator Morse this morning...
...interested in setting up
a debate possibly with Senator Kerr...
...over the comments
Bentsen made on last nights show.
Secretary of Agriculture? Good idea!
Can they do it by this week?
No, it would have to be weeks
at the earliest...
...depending on Morses schedule.
But still its a great idea.
Lets follow up on that.
"Hoover speaks on Benjamin Frankli
