Just a temps per enganxar el final de Good Night, and Good luck, on Strathairn acaba representant un discurs de Ed Murrow sobre la funció social de la televisió:
To those who say people wouldn't look; they wouldn't be interested; they're too complacent, indifferent and insulated, I can only reply: There is, in one reporter's opinion, considerable evidence against that contention. But even if they are right, what have they got to lose? Because if they are right, and this instrument is good for nothing but to entertain, amuse and insulate, then the tube is flickering now and we will soon see that the whole struggle is lost. This instrument can teach, it can illuminate; yes, and it can even inspire. But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends. Otherwise it is merely wires and lights in a box. Good night, and good luck.
Com el primer cop que ho vaig veure, no em deixa de sorpendre la "ingenuitat" d'un periodista com Murrow, amb una llarga experiència i una sòlida reputació forjada durant la guerra, com manté durant tants anys una batalla que té perduda ja abans de començar: la funció social de la televisió enfront de la seva comercialització. I això que no havia vist el Gran Hermano infantil.
