CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Getting changed at the gym this morning. One guy in a FOTUS shirt. Another guy comes in and starts complaining about equal rights for women, saying they don't want to do any of the hard jobs. Saying you don't see women working in 5 degree weather fixing downed power lines.
