Good Night

GOOD LUCK

Just watched Clooneys "Good Night and Good Luck". Fantastic. Watch it.

It starts with Edward R Murrows speech at the RTNDA Convention in Chicago, October 15, 1958.

We are currently wealthy, fat, comfortable and complacent. We have currently a built-in allergy to unpleasant or disturbing information. Our mass media reflect this. But unless we get up off our fat surpluses and recognize that television in the main is being used to distract, delude, amuse and insulate us, then television and those who finance it, those who look at it and those who work at it, may see a totally different picture too late.

Fantastic. Read it.
