What would Murrow do (WWMD?)

One of my old manuscripts, The Oath of the Fourth Estate, sits unfinished, unedited and mostly unreadable. What I wrote about twenty or so years ago, however--the importance of a free and unfettered press--still stands as we approach one of America's  most disappointing results of today's media as it covers a president who demonstrates that he is convinced he has more latitude to rule (rather than to govern).

WWMD?
The recent war between Bob Woodward, the Reporter Emeritus of the Washington Post and Lanny Davis, former White  House Counsel to Bill Clinton, is precisely what is required to get this current bunch of laid back lip smackers off their backsides and begin asking tough questions.

If only they knew what questions to ask.

Time to dust off the old manuscript.

Thanks for the read.
