Okay. Here we go.
:47:02
- At last!
- The Times. - The Times...

:47:05
- First?
- Good.

:47:07
- Who wrote it?
- Jack Gould.

:47:09
Gould...
:47:11
Edward R. Murrows television program
on Senator Joseph R. McCarthy...

:47:14
...was an exciting and provocative
examination of the man and his methods.

:47:18
It was crusading journalism
of high responsibility and courage.

:47:21
For TV so often plagued
by timidity and hesitation...

:47:24
...the program was a milestone
that reflected enlightened citizenship.

:47:28
The program... Hold on!
:47:29
The program was no less
an indictment of those who wish...

:47:32
...the problems posed
by the Senator's tactics and theatrics...

:47:35
...would just go away
and leave them alone.

:47:37
That was Mr. Murrows
and television's triumph...

:47:40
...and a very great one.
:47:45
Here! Here!
:47:46
- He hated it.
- Yeah. What's his beef?

:47:49
Send the New YorkTimes
abottle of Scotch.

:47:50
I already did. How do you think
we got that review?

:47:52
- How's the Post?
- Pretty good!

:47:55
- What about O'Brian?
- Uh, the same.

:47:58
- Goon, read O'Brian!
- I don't have it.

:48:01
- Got it.
- Oh. Here.

:48:05
- There we go.
- Shirley, that...

:48:10
We can't say we were surprised at
Murrows "Hate McCarthy" telecast...

:48:14
...last evening, when his explosively
one-sided propaganda...

:48:17
...edited with deviously clever
selectivity from McCarthy's march...

:48:20
...against Communism,
was finished last evening...

:48:22
...by equally Machiavellian coincidence
the following telecast...

:48:26
...featured Murrow's PM protege,
Hollenbeck.

:48:29
In an obviously gloating mood,
Hollenbeck...

:48:32
...hoped viewers had witnessed
his patron's triumph...

:48:35
...from and for the Left.
:48:37
Soon. Soon...
:48:39
Shirley, it's okay.
Go ahead, finish it.

:48:41
- No, that's it. That's it.
- Shirley, please, finish it.

:48:47
The CBS has been in a lengthy
"clean house of Lefties" mood.

:48:51
The worst offenders
on lesser levels...

:48:53
...have been quietly
pushed out of the company.

:48:55
Don Hollenbeck, a graduate
of the demised pinko publication PM...

:48:59
...attacked conservative papers
with sly and slanted propaganda.
