#GoodNightAndGoodLuck is another fine movie based on a true story. On #ThisDayInHistory in 1954, the #CBS television show #SeeItNow, hosted by #EdwardRMurrow, presented its special report on #JosephMcCarthy, using the Senator's own words to condemn him as a fraud and a demagogue.

Some stories don’t need to be retold. They need to be re-aimed. When adaptation swaps urgency for ego, laughter for anger, and warning for spectacle, the message dissolves. From Good Night, and Good Luck to A Sound of Thunder, this is what happens when we mistake repetition for relevance.

This excerpt from a 1954 #EdwardRMurrow broadcast criticizing #JosephMcCarthy's anti-communist witch-hunt is still quite relevant. The US has consistently failed to fulfil its promise, choosing again and again to push bigotry, fear, and state violence.
