A ultradireita nos EUA: do macarthismo a Trump
Presidente assimila a cartilha de perseguição política dos anos 50. Reveste o racismo de patriotismo e busca sustentar o poder a partir do medo. Só trocou alguns espantalhos, como a ameaça comunista pelo marxismo cultural e imigração. Como antes, o excesso pode levá-lo à implosãohttps://outraspalavras.net/direita-assanhada/a-ultradireita-nos-eua-do-macarthismo-a-trump/
GOP/National Conservatives engaging in 1st-Amendment-violating cancelling isn't surprising.
After all, Ray Cohn was Trump's mentor, and Ray Cohn worked for Joseph McCarthy to blacklist gay people and enemies in what we call McCarthyism.
History may not repeat itself, but it rhymes.

There is a direct link from #josephmccarthy to #donaldtrunp through the late #roycohn - who worked for the former and was a mentor to the latter.

60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley paid tribute Sunday to Bill Owens, the show's executive producer who resigned last week, saying on the air that "none of us is happy" about the extra supervision that corporate leaders are imposing.
Add ‘Good Night and Good Luck’ To Your Streaming Cue
Last night after a rough, though totally not surprising day, I posted the following on social media:
Certainly it was how I felt and was indeed an homage to Mr. Murrow and what he stood for. I didn’t go immediately to bed after posting that “good night” message. Instead I re-watched the excellent film containing Murrow’s famous sign-off, “Good Night and Good Luck.”
As we all go through what we’re going to continue to go through (and who really knows what that is), I’d recommend watching or re-watching the film again. It’s on most streaming services so it’s easy to find.
There are and will be pressures all the way around and certainly a dramatization of any kind compresses events to create that drama. Given that we may never hear about any of the recent conflicts that I can only hope happened inside corporate media headquarters before they folded up their tents to march willingly in step with the new administration, the story of taking on McCarthy, while also relevant to our current moment, is really just the stage for the one behind the scenes that impacts what we see or don’t see on our screens of so many sizes.
This isn’t some moment of nostalgia for a time gone by. It is a recognition that where we are now is a place we’ve been before. This time around those that control the media and messaging have, for the moment, much more control than they did in Murrow’s day. Make no mistake, they had some control then, but now it’s more pervasive and the Murrow’s, Friendly’s and Paley’s are fewer in number.
You can find more of my writings on a variety of topics on Medium at this link, including in the publications Ellemeno and Rome. I can also be found on social media under my name as above.
