Media Rants: Media Coverage of McCarthy
On April 27th at 6:30 p.m. the Appleton Public Library and the Valley Scene are sponsoring a free screening of George Clooney's "Good Night, and Good Luck," an award-winning rendition of Ed Murrow's 1954 "See It Now" expose' of Senator Joe McCarthy. Brian Farmer of the John Birch Society and I will be on a panel that night and discuss the issues raised by the film. In a special section of the Scene Brian and I wrote intro pieces for the film. Mine is here.
In my longer Media Rant for April, I decided to write about media coverage of Joe McCarthy in more depth. That piece is here.
Lokking forward to the Good Nite, Good Luck panel!
