McCarthyism of the 50’s is alive and well in this country. Shortsighted politicians. Modern marketing techniques. The abuse of media as a bully stick and policy management tool.

This movie is about TV newsman Edward R. Murrow who nearly singlehandedly stood up to McCarthy and contributed greatly to his downfall.

Its a good reminder movie of the things that have happened in this country. Its short and sweet. Worth watching by people who are somewhat politically aware or at least curious.
