Nor did I hear Brokaw mention the investigative genius of Edward R. Murrow or the voice of his elder brother journalist Eric Sevareid from one state above him, North Dakota?

I realize Brokaw must speak with some regret even as he ponders the present state of mainstream media voices and their capacity to avoid controversy. He was part of it …and Tom B., you could have done more.

As one who listened to the initial broadcast of Murrow’s documentary “Harvest of Shame” in the home of a couple old journalists in Milwaukee, I was enlightened early as a listener…and Eric S. followed in Murrow’s foot steps…leaving at times a greater footprint for future journalists to not just follow, but step up boldy in new directions.

This website and with its seek-out-the-story journalists, you certainly ‘speak’, write with much of the spirit of those two, Murrow and Sevareid….keep up your great, investigative reporting. The scope you covered at the Repub convention was powerful indeed.

If man bites God, write about it…if God bites man, get a second opinion.
