Good Night, and Good Luck.....

Was a compelling and interesting flick. Well the movie made it seem that everyone, not just the press, was afraid of this guy. It happened in a confusing and tramatic time in our country. Communism was a big threat and was the hot issue. Kind of like terrorism today. Americans were willing to do anything to get rid of communists. They gave into the radical politics of Senator McCartney. It was a good portrayal of the outing of McCartney's contridictions. They showed the risks the journalists faced when they aired the news report. There were other media outlets that wanted to attack McCartney, but the coverage had to be flawless and unbiased otherwise McCartney would attack them ruthlessly. McCartney was on a downward spiral towards failure but when cbs came out with this story it excellerated his demise.
