Documentary -Edward R Murrow vs Joe McCarthy.-



I am secure in the knowledge that no one in their 20s or 30s today in America has ever heard of Edward R. Murrow or the Communist Witch Hunts of the 1950s. So, this will be one of my least read or observed posts. This fact, in itself, is a stinging indictment to our educational system, which has in some places become nothing more than a propaganda machine for right wing talking heads or ignorant politicians who had an appeal to the Great Unwashed. Still, it happened and Americans should have never forgotten it.
