Courageous and accurate account

Rating: Null/10 (5 November 2005)

This superb film, filmed in the black and white genre of the time it depicts, is courageous given the attempts of the current administration to "control" the news on the media, the advent of FOX News, and the "team" of outrageous talk show hosts and bloggers who can be counted on to do the adminstration's bidding.
I lived through the McCarthy period, and remember the impact the Army-McCarthy hearings had on Ft. Monmouth,NJ and families in the neighboring community where I lived at the time. The historic accuracy and the superb depiction of Murrow and other characters, without attempts to add diversions to make it more "appealing" , make it worthy of several academy award nominations!
