The last of the world's best reporters

[n2mark]

Edward R, Murrow and Drew Pearson.

How many remember these great reporters?

I wish we could have the true reporting return

3. Sy Hersh is still out there

He's worth a small army of reporters all by himself.

5. Hersh is great, fearless

4. These two reporters had such an impact in my home

through troubled times, yet, not one reporter now seems to fight for our rights. Why? Murrow and Pearson were fighters and they were tough. Why could they fight, and no one in the press can do this today? What is the difference?

7. Two reporters

John Pilger and Robert Fisk still fly the flag.

12. I'd Put Robin Wright In There Too!

She is truly investigative, she goes where the stories are, and she has a steel-trap mind, so she remembers the details and can later, in interviews, editorialize on what she knows.

8. History repeating itself...

That is an amazing article. Everyone should read it and pass it on because we are in the middle of a McCarthyism assault. As John Dean, former Nixon counsel wrote in his book, "this administration is truly scary and given the times we live in, frighteningly dangerous."

9. Robert Parry still writes...

Parry broke Iran-Contra and added to what we know about the October Surprise and other Bush-related treason. Check out:

10. Murrow had a little help from a little old lady senator

from Maine in bringing down Tail-Gunner Joe.
