@newrepublic Remember: #CBS is the network that helped bring #JoeMcCarthy down. Edward R. Murrow must be weeping somewhere.
#Hollywood was squarely in #JoeMcCarthy's sights for a long time and a lot of artists, writers, producers rolled over and "named names". Some brave souls refused (hi there, Bogey and Dalton Trumbo) and were blacklisted.
We're seeing the #NewBlacklist emerge before our very eyes. Mark me well.
Profiles in Courage #3: Edward R. Murrow and CBS News took on Senator Joseph McCarthy and his accusations that all progressives communist spies, dramatized in the movie Good Night, and Good Luck.

Trump is the current version of McCarthy.
Courage seems to have evaporated from CBS and the Republican Party that censured McCarthy.
We will have to look for it elsewhere, including in ourselves.

I believe #CBS; cancelling #Colbert IS a "financial decision"; Paramount wants to merge with Skydance and is prepared to do anything to propitiate #Trump to allow it, including paying $16M on a bogus "settlement" of his lawsuit. So, yes, it's all about money. And this from the network that helped bring down #JoeMcCarthy. How the mighty have fallen. Fred Friendly is spinning in his grave.

A quotation from Edward R. Murrow

We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty.

Today in Labor History May 13, 1960: San Francisco Police violently attacked university students who were nonviolently protesting HUAC (House Un-American Committee) hearings. After protesters were denied entrance to the meeting, police attacked and swept them out of City Hall's rotunda and down the stairs with fire hoses. 12 people hospitalized (including eight police, mostly from exhaustion). 64 were arrested. Charges were dropped against all but one, who was acquitted in a jury trial. The hearings were led by the infamous Joe McCarthy. They would come into union towns like Chicago, San Francisco and Seattle, and issue subpoenas to all the progressives and radicals in the town, especially union leaders, many of whom were communists, or had communist ties. The only defense was to take the Fifth Amendment. The consequence of that was that you would usually lose your job, your name would be plastered in the papers, and your kids would be mistreated in school. Alternatively, you could take the First, like the Hollywood Ten did. For that, you’d be held in contempt of court sent to prison.

@flexghost It was #CBS (and the US Army) that brought down #JoeMcCarthy. Maybe there's still hope.
