[Ads-l] Request help verifying 1959 quotation from journalist Edward R. Murrow.

[Peter Reitan]

The circus was already there; as demonstrated by this political cartoon from 1919.
The Non-Partisan Leader (Fargo, ND), June 23, 1919, page 3. 

"When the politicians complain that TV turns their proceedings into a
circus, it should be made clear that the circus was already there, and
that TV has merely demonstrated that not all the performers are well
trained."—Edward R. Murrow.
