 Ah, September. Finally, I get back into the ol' blog. What brings me to come out of hibernation and blog? The best televised editorial I've seen.
Ever. Keith Olbermann apologizes at the end of it for using the
words of Murrow. He really shouldn't--he's working right in the
same tradition. And just because I love Murrow's words as much as
Olbermann does, here they are:
We must not confuse dissent
with disloyalty. We must remember always that accusation is not proof,
and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law.
We will not walk in fear - one, of another. We will not be driven by
fear into an age of un-reason, if we dig deep in our history and our
doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men; Not
from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate, and to defend
causes that were - for the moment - unpopular.
Good night and good luck.
