If Radio News Is To Be Regarded

I Have No Feud, Either With My Employers, Any Sponsors, Or With The Professional Critics Of Radio And Television. But I Am Seized With An Abiding Fear Regarding What These Two Instruments Are Doing To Our Society, Our Culture And Our Heritage.

Except For Those Who Think In Terms Of Pious Platitudes Or Dogma Or Narrow Prejudice (and Those Thoughts We Aren't Interested In), People Don't Speak Their Beliefs Easily, Or Publicly.

We Must Not Confuse Dissent With Disloyalty.

I Am Entirely Persuaded That The American Public Is More Reasonable, Restrained And More Mature Than Most Of Our Industry's Program Planners Believe.

We're Not Descended From Fearful Men - Not From Men Who Feared To Write, To Speak, To Associate, And To Defend Causes That Were, For The Moment, Unpopular.
