I just saw this movie this weekend and I highly recommend it.
This movie depicts how Edward R. Murrow openly fought Sen. McCarthy and his witch hunt for Communist sympathizers.
It is a fact that many peoples lives were ruined because rumored or fabricated information was provided to the Anti American Activities commission about so called communist affilations. There was one striking example of how a woman who worked for the Armed Forces as a transmitter was accused of being a communist. She lost her job and was called to testify in front of the committee and never were her accusers identified or was any information regarding the accussations every shown to her or her attorney. Meanwhile her carreer and reputation had been ruined.
It reminded me of the position that many of us have found ourselves in while we were Dubs. A rumor or lie can convict you of being an apostate, with the resulting damage that can happen to because of the accussation.
At the core of this story is the fact that association with people with differing ideolgies does not mean that you are disloyal to your own belief structure.
The duds have this same problem. Why can't you read information that is different from their beliefs.
I applaud those who have stood up to those tyrants that would label you as a traitor just because you have a thrust for knowledge and want to examine material other than whats published by the WTBS.
