AHC: President Edward R. Murrow

This is Lost The Game.
Your challenge is to make acclaimed journalist Edward R. Murrow President of the United States. How do we achieve this? Also, what party would he be elected under? What policies might he support? I know one of his last reports was on the plight of migrant farm workers, and I know that he was a staunch opponent of McCarthyism. So, how do we get this, and what would his presidency be like?

For more information on this legendary and quite frankly badass journalist, see these links
