I met Mr. Murrow when I was a small boy in 1964 only a year before he died. It was an ugly sight, and only a year after he had an operation to have one lung removed. Weak and dying, I was only able to see him over the course of a single day because my father knew him from his days broadcasting during the Blitz, as my father had worked in British Intelligence or the British Army or something like that during the Blitz, and had become a smoking acquaintance of Murrow’s and was determined to see him before he died. Even then, when I was a boy, and as the man was dying, I knew he was a great man. The day he died was the only time in my entire life that I saw my father cry. All my childhood I had been raised with stories of Edward R Murrow, the great American, and the rest of my childhood those stories continued, and the impressions has remained. Edward R. Murrow was the model upon which other journalists should base their careers.

As for bias in this article, I think you are all being a little narrow minded. Refer back to the Murrow Boys and their contemporaries. What made these men great was not any pretensions to presenting the facts in a balanced sense, but telling the truth, speaking their opinions, and not hiding the fact. Each of these men is great for presenting the facts, telling you what they thing, and not hiding the fact that they are telling you their opinion. A poor newsman tells you he is fair. That is a lie. A great newsman tells you the truth. Each of these men did or does that. Where their opinion comes from, right or left is irrelevant. They tell you. You know what to filter. With the liars, you can’t be sure which direction to turn. I ask, before you attack, that you return to Murrow, and consider journalism and the historical roots of the craft and it’s original purpose on television.

Pretty lame. If Anderson Cooper is a model of manliness I have some serious thinking to do.

Major ommissions on this list include Paul Harvey, Ed Bradley, and the greatest voice ever: Bill Kurtis.

…and they are all WHITE! (even the afke ones). What about Bernard Shaw of CNN (hunkered down in that hotel in Baghdad while the bombs were landing) or Max Robinson of ABC or Bryant Gumbel of NBC and HBO or Ed Bradley of CBS 60 Minutes (now he was the coolest anchor ever!)….

Wanted to suggest a couple manly Colbert moments: watch the 2006 Whitehouse correspondents dinner and the 60 minutes Colbert interview.

Big fan of the website, but I felt this article to be subpar.
I agree with the observations that commentators are not the same as anchors.
As well, Jon Stewart is a hack. Bill O’Reilly is often over the top, yet, but have you ever watched his show? He is not partisan – he is registered independent. The word you’re looking for is conservative.

Most honest person ever on TV, Mr. Hugh Downs. I will never forget Brokaw reporting election returns, and he said “When we take Iowa”, Old-marble mouth really bared his leftist feelings. Rather and Brokaw what a pair of fair-minded journalists.

Some of these guys are men and some are not. Remember, just because some of these guys are mentioned on the net in a blog does not make it so.
