#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.

A little light reading on deck this evening; my favorite broadcast journalist.

We proclaim ourselves the defenders of freedom but we cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home. McCarthy's actions have caused alarm & dismay amongst our allies abroad & given considerable comfort to our enemies. And whose fault is that? Not really his. He didn't create this situation of fear; he merely exploited it β€” & rather successfully.

Cassius was right. "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves."
Good night & good luck.

Edward R. Murrow would be champing at the bit with the shenanigans these days.
