I agree with Murrow. Using the television can be an instrument, but it depends on how people use it also. It could be used for the good, it could be used as entertainment, and it could be used for bad, just like how McCarthy used it. If Murrow saw how television is today, I believe that he would still have the same view as he had at his time period. Although times had changed, the way the human mind works still remain the same. The television still depends on how the people work it. Just like Murrow said, it would be nothing but a wired light box if there were no humans to determine its use.
In Murrow's time, the television were used to spread important information. Now-a-days, it is still used the same way, but sometimes some people take advantage of it and it just seems like a box with nothing in it. Comparing from how it was before, the television, or the internet in our case, are just now used as an everyday item instead of something reserved for important events or information. However, it really depends on who is controlling it. In conclusion, I do agree with Murrow.
