A flawed man for sure... But definitely an inspirational figure. Time to adapt a speech of his? "We shall fight then on the Facebooks, on the Twitter. We shall fight them on the news stand and in the broadcasts... We shall never surrender...". I'm not as good with words as he was.

Also:. Churchill was a war correspondent. I'm sure had CNN been around in his day he would have worked for them.
