Likely the most underrated TV journalist/anchorman in Canada, Murphy not only reads the news with clarity, but his interviews are objective, incisive, fair, polite, and he asks the right questions to get the answers we seek, without being in any way challenging to the interviewee. 

He is probably unheard of in Toronto, the centre of the media universe in Canada – and that's unfortunate.

He is truly professional, and if it were not for his age and his lack of physical glamor, would have been swallowed up by the US networks years ago.

Other comments: I do not know the gentleman, have never met him, but absolutely respect his professionalism and his innate ability to comfortably chat with those he interviews, putting them at ease. and getting to the heart of the matter without confrontation.
