Good Night and Good Luck
My summary on the quote of Murrow's speech is that television can be useful to the public for information dealing with big dilemmas, but also a big problem that can start something that would never be started if we didn't have television and news reports. I would have to agree with the sentiments because news today and back then only put the most exciting or flashy news to attract viewers to watch their newscast about the information they are delivering. I believe Murrows would be dismayed by the television today because it focuses only on things that sometimes don't matter and things that are important, but also bad or boring is pushed aside even if it has the same amount of quality as the big news. The TV going to a new age of Internet was really similar to when the radio transferred to the television. In my opinion, the "box of wires and lights," has been a great thing but also a horrible in many reasons.
