If you're interested A one line Why for each,

Edward R. Murrow
The greatest truth seeking, truth telling news man. Ever.

Linda Ellerbee
My appreciation for smart women with a very dry sense of humor started with NBC's News Overnight and Ms. Ellerbee. Bonus goodness: now she does Nick News for kids.

Alton Brown
Food sciene made cool. If I'd had any ambition at all when I was younger, I would have wanted to do what AB does for a living.

Fred Rogers
Name me one other person who has done as much for the self-esteem and well-being of children. Anywhere.

Cal Ripken
Yes, Virgina, real sports heroes do still exist.

Sibel Edmonds
Post 9/11 FBI translator and whistleblower whose testimony was surpressed by the US Government.

Keith Olbermann
His Special Comments make him the Murrow of our generation

Stephen Colbert
Speaking Truthiness to Power
