Edward R. Murrow's Response To Attack On The Media

Today's news media is experiencing numerous attacks on it's creditability accusing it of being "fake news". Mostly by Trump who declared the press enemy of the people" in his tweets. This should sound familiar since it's not the first time. Edward R. Murrow was known for his relentless reporting on Sentor McCarthy. Thus accused also as being an enemy of this country.

Both Murray and the United States somehow managed to see their way through the Sentor's false accusations. Let us hope one day we shall as well this administration's false accusations with it's attacks on the press.
