I saw it on Friday and was not very impressed. The problem I see is that the film in some ways reinforces the idea that to be a socialist or a communist is not to be an American. In other words, McCarthy's problem is presented as one of accusing innocents, whereas the more basic issue is whether americans should be free to be socialists or communists. When Murrow was accused of having joined the IWW, the opportunity was there to defend the freedom of association and the right to organize unions. He didn't. I read the movie as an account of the conflict between the right wing of the capitalist establishment and the left wing.
Even if McCarthy was right, he was wrong.
Anyone have any links to sites that detail the opinions on Murrow of leftists of the 50's?
