DVD Reviews of The Edward R. Murrow: The McCarthy Years
DVD Review: Heroic Television
Summary: 5 Stars
When watching the footage of Joe McCarthy contained on this DVD it is hard to believe that this bumbling, uncharismatic and ill informed man was able to cause the misery he did in 1950's America. Ed Murrow had decided to oppose McCarthy by exposing the ridiculous excesses of McCarthyism, firstly by highlighting the plight of a man expelled from the armed forces because of the alleged links to Communism, and later by exposing the flaws in McCarthy's doctrine. 'The McCarthy Years' contains all these programmes in full as well as McCarthy's televised response to Murrow, which he exposed himself as a blustering idiot. McCarthy, despite having weeks to research, manages to hang himself with a string of factual innaccuracies, from not knowing Murrows role at CBS to stating that Lenin's first name was Nikolai!. This is a DVD which anyone interested in the history of American politics and television should see. If only Murrow was still with us to give the same treatment to Ann Coulter!
