Clooney's Murrow

[Frasier Balzov]

10. Time has passed the story by I'm afraid.

Courage of the press looks quaint.

Scrambling to find an audience and consuming what we agree with is more the business model now than ever before.

The montage of news headlines from the last seventy years, as offered to us at the end of the play, didn't bring Murrow's relevance up to date.

It just made him look more anachronistic.

And a Hearst opinion columnist pushing Don Hollenbeck to suicide didn't rile me into the dramatic outrage I know I was supposed to feel.

In a way, the music was the best part!
