On March 9th, 1954, Murrow—who was then perhaps the countrys most highly revered journalist—devoted an entire episode of his CBS program See it Now to the words and deeds of Senator Joseph McCarthy, who had already done much to earn his notorious place in history. Using McCarthys own statements, Murrow painted a picture of a man whose recklessness with the truth and ugly attacks on his critics had contributed to a climate of deep fear and repression in American life. ...... McCarthy always reminded me of a priest/person who would should out, Theres a witch! Throw her off the ledge! if the woman didnt agree with his/her views.
