Liberal Spin Alert!

Rating: 1/10 (9 November 2012)

The VENONA Project files, declassified in 1995, provided indisputable evidence that nearly all of those McCarthy accused were traitors to America. Not surprisingly, the media ignored these documents completely, instead choosing to run yet another round of anti-McCarthy propaganda. As if that wasn't enough, in 2005 Hollywood released the greatest propaganda film since "Triumph of the Will", an anti-McCarthy slander picture known as "Good Night and Good Luck". Dead for fifty years, McCarthy's body has now been tarred, feathered, crucified, cremated, and his ashes shot into space by a leftist media who cannot handle the truth of their own miserable existence. The anti-McCarthy media claims the Senator wrongly implicated many. Despite their accusations, no critic has ever brought forth a single documented case of someone being wrongly accused by McCarthy.
While the film portrays Senator George McCarthy as wrong for seeking to "out" Communists, the facts came to light in the 1990s that McCarthy was on the right track. After the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Secret Service archives were opened to the public, where researchers found evidence that over 340 Communist spies and sympathizers had indeed infiltrated a number of State Department positions in the U.S. government during the Cold War.
Recently declassified Soviet documents prove that, not only was McCarthy RIGHT, the problem was even worse than he and J. Edgar Hoover were aware. Just a few facts the viewer should keep in mind while watching this wretched abortion of a movie.
