Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

That's horrible for a little girl to shoulder!
I remember fretting awfully for some of my friends. (Relatives were all Catholic, so they were "safe")

Same. I remember a couple of kids who weren't religious -- the nuns treated them differently; depending on the mood of the day, they were either disciplined more harshly, or felt sorry for, because they would surely end up in hell. Heaven and God's grace was for Catholics only.

Intrigued by northwestern Pennsylvania -- will be googling!

A John Fugelsang appreciation post.

German Catholic convent education fried me pretty good, but the Christian rationalists are in a WHOLE other league...

My fervent hope is that EVERYBODY reads this.

It's balm.

Sure. Left wing terrorism is at an all time high, going from 3% of domestic terror fatalities to 4%. Right wing terrorism on the other hand has dipped to an all time low of 95%

So technically, yeah.
