In 1954, Sen. Joseph Raymond McCarthy, R-WI, responding to the broadside against him by CBS newsman Edward (Egbert) Roscoe Murrow on See It Now, said in remarks filmed for the program that Murrow had, in the past, “engaged in propaganda for Communist causes”. #JoeMcCarthy #EdwardMurrow On March 9th, 1954, Edward R. Murrow presented a 25-minute television exposé of the Wisconsin senator’s anticommunist crusade. Using evidence from McCarthy’s speeches and hearings, Murrow argued that the senator’s unsavory tactics involved “the half-truth” and investigations in which his bullying was “protected by immunity.” McCarthy attacked Murrow by calling him a communist, but the journalist deftly countered the accusation and damaged McCarthy’s reputation in the process.
