criminalized for daring to question those in authority. Instead, we are offered
'experts' in shouting down dissenters. In place of the investigative journalism
bravely done by Daniel Schorr--we have Dana Loesch spouting brain dead slogans.
We live in a time with a suspended Bill of Rights barely on life support, all
complements of our spineless congress and an executive sporting dictatorial
powers since 9/11. Our corporate, lapdog press is too busy dishing out the
intellectual 'kool-aid' to bother investigating the facts. We have corporate
'journalism' via mob dictates, spurred on by right wing cheerleaders
conveniently repeating the 'big lie.' In the quest for ratings--journalism has
been 'missing in action.' Ironically, Daniel Schorr wouldn't be able to get a
job in journalism today. No one would hire him in this climate--not ABC, NBC,
FOX or CNN. Don't fret---CNN has--tea party mouthpiece--Dana Loesch. (Insert
sarcasm here).
In conclusion, I would say that Daniel Schorr should definitely be honored, but
not eulogized. His spirit which screamed the need to 'speak truth to power,' is
still alive in some. Its our democracy which is being eulogized. Truth, honor
and democracy died some time ago in DC.
