NBC spent many months with a crew in Vietnam, trying to get the "soldiers point of view" according to Edwin Newman who read a letter canceling the investigative reporting team there as part of a eulogy in the UN Chapel for George Murray, a one-time director of "Huntley and Brinkley" and an award winning television news producer for "NBC Nightly News" (or/and "From New York") which stated the reason as "higher ups" after months of dangerous work and expenses. Though this story reminded me of it, I find that it seems a little odd, and wonder if there might be more to the story as there was Mr. Murray, a former US Army Captain and veteran of the Korean War. If not, what were the "higher ups" doing during the hiatus? Tim Russert's Wikipedia Updater Fired By NBC-Affiliate-Contracted Web Firm For Reporting His Death Too Early - Media on The Huffington Post
