How did Edward R. Murrow help?

He told the truth and stood up to the powerful, whether it was Hitler during World War II or Joe McCarthy during the early 1950s. Edward R. Murrow was a widely-respected news reporter, first on the radio, and then in the early years of television. He began as a radio reporter for CBS in the late 1930s. He became known for a news program called "Hear It Now," and he also became known for his ground-breaking reporting from the scene of concentration camps and in the midst of bombings during World War II. He later went to TV, turned his radio show into "See It Now" and became famous for investigative journalism. In 1954, during the McCarthy era, he was one of the few journalists willing to criticize Senator Joseph McCarthy and debunk the assertions McCarthy was making. While Murrow alone did not bring McCarthy down, his courageous reporting was widely credited for getting the ball rolling, and that led to McCarthy finally being removed from power. There is a movie about Murrow's career called "Good Night and Good Luck" (named for the way he signed off at the end of his program).

Is there a book on how to rollback electronic odometers on a vx commodore?

better off talking to an instrument specialist. As far as I'm aware the only way to change the odo (once it's gone past 100km) is to "pulse" the cluster so it thinks you're going really fast forwards. Then when it passes 999999km it will go back to 000000.

Ann Landers column poem written about 3 children you love you most because you were the first?

To My Children

DEAR FIRSTBORN:

I've always loved you best because you were our first miracle. You were the genesis of a marriage and the fulfillment of young love.

You sustained us through the hamburger years, the first apartment (furnished in early poverty), our first mode of transportation (1955 Feet), and the seven-inch TV we paid on for 36 months.

You were new, had unused grandparents, and enough clothes for a set of triplets. You were the original model for a mom and dad who were trying to work the bugs out. You got the strained lamb, the open-safety pins and three-hour naps.

You were the beginning.

DEAR MIDDLE CHILD:

I've always loved you best because you drew a tough spot in the family and it made you stronger for it.

You cried less, had more patience, wore faded hand-me-downs, and never in your life did anything first. But it only made you more special. You were the one we relaxed with, who helped us realize a dog could kiss you and you wouldn't get sick. You could cross a street by yourself long before you were old enough to get married. And you helped us understand the world wouldn't collapse if you went to bed with dirty feet.

You were the child of our busy, ambitious years. Without you, we never could have survived the job changes and the tedium and routine that is marriage.

TO THE BABY:

I've always loved you best because while endings are generally sad, you are such a joy. You readily accepted the milk-stained bibs, the lower bunk, the cracked baseball bat, the baby book that had nothing written in it except a recipe for graham-cracker pie crust that someone had jammed between the pages.

You are the one we held on to so tightly. You are the link with our past, a reason for tomorrow. You darken our hair, quicken our steps, square our shoulders, restore our vision, and give us a sense of humor that security, maturity and durability can't provide.

When your hairline takes on the shape of Lake Eire and your own children tower over you, you will still be our baby.

Please explain why journalists tend to use statistics and photographs and quotes and statements and how these tend to influence the audience?

Bricks are easier to swallow if you show a graph of why you should believe them. You only get a snapshot of 'the facts' and it is skewed by each individual, where they choose to look..or not. Look at some documentaries about a big event that was on the news, you usually get a different picture (literally) from the story that was told on TV! why....Propoganda..which is a part of 'life'...you just need to figure out a system for yourself how to deal with it...

Who were the Muckrakers?

Muckraker: "A man that could look no way but downward" Muckrakers were investigative journalists or writers who exposed the corruption or evils of society in the Progressive era. Some muckrakers were progressives who sought reform and change; for example, Jacob Riis wrote on the deplorable conditions in housing with the intent to change conditions for immigrants. Similarly, Upton Sinclair exposed the meatpacking process which prompted change in the form of the Pure Food and Drug Act. Other muckrakers were just interested in selling a sensationalist story to the American public.

The most popular aspects of society subject to the muckraker's scrutiny were crime, graft, housing, scandals, labor, monopolies, population density, treatment of immigrants, treatment of women, and quality of food. Notable muckrakers include Jacob Riis, Upton Sinclair, Ida Tarbell, and Helen Hunt Jackson.

When Theodore Roosevelt first coined the term, "muckraker" had a negative connotation and was intended to be a smear - one shouldn't concentrate on the "muck" of society. (The quote: "the man who could look no way but downward" was part of the description Roosevelt offered in 1906). The muckrakers, however, used the term positively and as a badge of honor, and investigative journalism was borne.

The term is most frequently used to describe progressive-era reformers, but the word can be used to describe contemporary progressives, people such as Michael Moore, Eric Schlosser, and Ralph Nader.
