and we've seen it morph into the sham it is today.

Trailer.



David Strathairn channels Murrow. One of the best work-a-day character actors ever. An Oscar worthy performance here. It is on my watch regularly list. And yes, it is about the McCarthy broadcasts. BTW, George Clooney has a major role (Fred Friendly), and was Director.

It is a great historic flick.
