Who Killed George Polk? Part I: A CBS Newsman is Murdered
Manage episode 364381757 series 2788932
The body of CBS News correspondent George Polk is found floating in the bay near Greece’s Salonika waterfront. On the 75th anniversary of the murder, White House correspondent Steven Portnoy begins the network’s first dive into the case in decades. Polk was in Greece to cover that country’s civil war, a battle that pitted forces backed by Washington against communist guerrillas aligned with Moscow. He had criticized the right-wing authorities now charged with finding his killer. Shocked by Polk’s murder, prominent journalists ask the father of the U.S. intelligence community to oversee the investigation. Gen. William “Wild Bill” Donovan identifies a suspect.
