You seem to know your stuff. Do you have any history book recommendations?

  Not a book (and I'm not the OP) but I was listening to a lot of Robert Murrow broadcasts on the internet archive, and the interesting part about it is his opinion is almost always made obvious. Most people refer to his time period as the golden age of news, and I don't think many people realize that reporters of that era took politicized stands. He was actively against McCarthy for example. One thing that is different is he was always fair. Ensuring he gave adequate time to the other side - and taking people of substance from that side. In the case of McCarthy he gave him an entire episode (which McCarthy wasted).
