The McCarthy Era - The Red Scare of the 1950's
Attacking political opponents with unfair or unsubstantiated accusations is nothing new. Today's "fake news" may be more widespread but it is an old tactic - inuendo, making up stories, name calling, and accusing the press were part of the political tactics of Republican Senator Joseph McCarthy in 1950. Then, it was the "red scare" - McCarthy accused the State Department, President Truman's administration, the U.S. Army, and Hollywood of harboring U.S. citizens who were "Communist sympathizers." He also hunted down homosexuals while his own closest advisor was gay. Some of the accused committed suicide - thousands were blacklisted and could not find work. You may be surprised at the people who helped him ruin the lives of others (including a future President) but it was a courageous and respected journalist who called him out. Watch and listen to this video of Edward R. Murrow, in 1954, before McCarthy was censured - it resonates as well today as it did then. It is a powerful call to reason and justice.
