Edward R. Murrow

Everyone is a prisoner of his own experiences. No one can eliminate prejudices - just recognize them.

When the politicians complain that TV turns the proceedings into a circus, it should be made clear that the circus was already there, and that TV has merely demonstrated that not all the performers are well trained.
Edward R. Murrow - television broadcast, December 31, 1955
Everyone is a prisoner of his own experiences. No one can eliminate prejudices - just recognize them.

To be persuasive, we must be believable; to be believable we must be credible; to be credible, we must be truthful.

A great many people think they are thinking when they are really rearranging their prejudices.
Edward R. Murrow - On Winston Churchill, 1954
He mobilized the English language and sent it into battle to steady his fellow countrymen and hearten those Europeans upon whom the long dark night of tyranny had descended.
