Edward R. Murrow (1908-1965)

Udvalgt af Rune Engelbreth Larsen Udprint

EDWARD R. MURROW: »If we confuse dissent with disloyalty — if we deny the right of the individual to be wrong, unpopular, eccentric or unorthodox — if we deny the essence of racial equality then hundreds of millions in Asia and Africa who are shopping about for a new allegiance will conclude that we are concerned to defend a myth and our present privileged status. Every act that denies or limits the freedom of the individual in this country costs us the ... confidence of men and women who aspire to that freedom and independence of which we speak and for which our ancestors fought.«

FORD FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY SHOW, CBS AND NBC, 1953


EDWARD R. MURROW: »If none of us ever read a book that was 'dangerous', had a friend who was 'different', or joined an organization that advocated 'change', we would all be just the kind of people Joe McCarthy wants.«

TALE TIL SINE MEDARBEJDERE, 1954
Umiddelbart før programmet A Report on senator Joseph R. McCarthy


EDWARD R. MURROW: »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 unreason, 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.«


EDWARD R. MURROW: »We can deny our heritage and our history, but we cannot escape responsibility for the result. There is no way for a citizen of a republic to abdicate his responsibilities.«

A REPORT ON SENATOR JOSEPH R. MCCARTHY, 1954


EDWARD R. MURROW: »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.«
