The Real Reason Why Network Owners and News Outlets are Losing Audiences and Ratings to the Internet
This powerful scene is from the film "Good Night and Good Luck", a film that I consider to be one of the greatest ever made.
Here, legendary journalist Edward R. Murrow, played to perfection by David Strathairn, ends up serving a dish of cold, hard truth to attendees at a gala in his honor.
Murrow, fearlessly and tactfully, warns the network owners and media drones about the consequences of abusing the true nature journalism and using television as a mechanism to distort reality and truth.
Today marks the anniversary of Murrow's death, and I'm posting the scene to honor him, his brilliant and unforgettable legacy, and to inform everyone involved with network news -- from owners to commentators -- that Murrow's dire prediction has come to pass.
You failed to heed his warning, and now it's only a matter of time before you all are replaced by independent, reliable and viable Internet news sources.
Having said that, good night....and good luck.
This commentary is from the heart and.....From The G-Man.
