"American traditions and the #American #ethic require us to be truthful, but the most important reason is that #truth is the best #propaganda and #lies are the worst. To be persuasive we must be believable; to be believable we must be credible; to be #credible we must be truthful. It is as simple as that."
Edward R. Murrow

Some stories don’t need to be retold. They need to be re-aimed. When adaptation swaps urgency for ego, laughter for anger, and warning for spectacle, the message dissolves. From Good Night, and Good Luck to A Sound of Thunder, this is what happens when we mistake repetition for relevance.

My life path swerved, else I would have tried to become a legitimate journalist (not a hack!), because journalists are my favorite super heroes. #BobWoodward #CarlBernstein #EdwardRMurrow #WalterCronkite #RachelMaddow #HunterSThompson #DanRather #ErniePyle #CarolLeonnig #RobertCosta
