        I was 9 years old & remember this time vividly. I've said many times, Edward R Morrow where are you when we need you. This was a @GOP tragedy that yielded 0 results while causing much harm & death to so many people. Seems we haven't changed much.

        Murrow quoted Shakesphere at the end of that broadcast. “The fault dear Brutus is not in our stars but in ourselves”

        I am absolutely convinced that if Fox News would have been around then they would have been on McCarthy’s side, would have castigated Murrow for being a liberal snowflake and when McCarthy left office he would have been hired as a Fox News analyst...

        Today, we have Chuck Todd who would say, "We have to agree to disagree, Senator. See you next week? Please?"

        It's a good thing McCarthy never became president like Donald Trump. ;-)

        What I don't understand ... why doesn't a journalist shout this out at Donald Trump at the next press event? Why are they so deferential? I know that journalist would be banned from ever covering a Trump event again but in the great scheme of things ... why not?

        There are many journalists espousing similar thoughts today but unfortunately not with the degree of reaction Murrow received.

        When Giants like Murrow were actually Journalists, not ideology driven attack dogs, a pity!

        But it didn't do any good! What finally brought McCarthy down was his big mistake in attacking the Pentagon. Apparently, in America you can do almost anything as long as you don't try to harm the real powers that be including the military.

        I don't know, Trump has managed to bash military generals and Gold Star families. Of course the one thing he hasn't criticized is the military industrial complex. That's where the real power is.
