:47:00
Okay. Here we go.
:47:02
- At last!
- The Times. - The Times...
:47:05
- First?
- Good.
:47:07
- Who wrote it?
- Jack Gould.
:47:09
Gould...
:47:11
Edward R. Murrows television program
on Senator Joseph R. McCarthy...
:47:14
...was an exciting and provocative
examination of the man and his methods.
:47:18
It was crusading journalism
of high responsibility and courage.
:47:21
For TV so often plagued
by timidity and hesitation...
:47:24
...the program was a milestone
that reflected enlightened citizenship.
:47:28
The program... Hold on!
:47:29
The program was no less
an indictment of those who wish...
:47:32
...the problems posed
by the Senator's tactics and theatrics...
:47:35
...would just go away
and leave them alone.
:47:37
That was Mr. Murrows
and television's triumph...
:47:40
...and a very great one.
:47:45
Here! Here!
:47:46
- He hated it.
- Yeah. What's his beef?
:47:49
Send the New YorkTimes
abottle of Scotch.
:47:50
I already did. How do you think
we got that review?
:47:52
- How's the Post?
- Pretty good!
:47:55
- What about O'Brian?
- Uh, the same.
:47:58
- Goon, read O'Brian!
- I don't have it.
:48:01
- Got it.
- Oh. Here.
:48:05
- There we go.
- Shirley, that...
:48:10
We can't say we were surprised at
Murrows "Hate McCarthy" telecast...
:48:14
...last evening, when his explosively
one-sided propaganda...
:48:17
...edited with deviously clever
selectivity from McCarthy's march...
:48:20
...against Communism,
was finished last evening...
:48:22
...by equally Machiavellian coincidence
the following telecast...
:48:26
...featured Murrow's PM protege,
Hollenbeck.
:48:29
In an obviously gloating mood,
Hollenbeck...
:48:32
...hoped viewers had witnessed
his patron's triumph...
:48:35
...from and for the Left.
:48:37
Soon. Soon...
:48:39
Shirley, it's okay.
Go ahead, finish it.
:48:41
- No, that's it. That's it.
- Shirley, please, finish it.
:48:47
The CBS has been in a lengthy
"clean house of Lefties" mood.
:48:51
The worst offenders
on lesser levels...
:48:53
...have been quietly
pushed out of the company.
:48:55
Don Hollenbeck, a graduate
of the demised pinko publication PM...
:48:59
...attacked conservative papers
with sly and slanted propaganda.
