Loved her. I have no idea how many times I watched Annie Hall. But I never got tired of it. #RIPDianeKeaton and la de da. 😘

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.
This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.
