Good Night and Good Luck: Murrow's speech

I agree with what Murrow's sentiment had to state about if you have information of a certain topic, it would be used as anyway possible to get the word out. Murrow if here today would be pleased to see the people in news corporations take their duties to heart, to get the information out to the public keeping people the audience in heads up states aware of any situation covered."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" this piece of the sentiment in the speech basically means the information that's taken or received can be very helpful and whats there to lose if your wrong you would try again to get something out, information can teach others of situations and lighten them up more to the public. You can make any informative source good to as far you want it to go but if you don't it would be useless just as in he sentiment "Merely wires and lights".

Third Blog Entry The Crucibal

Vengeance is walking Salem. We are what we always were in Salem, but now little crazy children are jangling the keys of the kingdom and common vengeance writes the law!. This warrant's vengeance I'll not give my wife to vengeance. (pg 1283)

Responce: In Salem people are accusing other citizens to get them out the picture and be on the list of suspicion.  In the quote since everybody is poking fingers at each other its the hysteria that execute people of being with the devil. Now in my view adults in that time would slowly go and go because of accusations at them and children would just run around.
