Chief among them, of course, was the Liberal media, The New York Times, most other newspapers, and of course the broadcast media. Most famously of course Ed Murrow's well known hatchet job.
I have to wonder how the history of McCarthyism would have gone if there had not been the liberal media monopoly there was in the US at the time and until the 90s. If Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, Sean Hannity, Breitbart,Daily Caller, Gateway Pundit, Infowars had all the time. If McCarthy supporters had been able to respond to the media attacks with their own debunking YouTube videos, blogs and facebook articles. If they had been able to tweet frog memes at Murrow during his show instead of having to passively watch it at home.
True to form, it's always the liberal media's fault. At this point Pete, the extra writing here is all rather superfluous. We know the drill with you. Just say "liberal media" and we can fill in the blanks.
It's always interested me that for as obsessed with the modern media as you are, you seem willfully ignorant or at least completely oblivious of the often-enormous shortcomings of the conservative media. I mean, day after day on this forum, you parade around Breitbart as if it is actually a suitable alternative to the institutions you so vehemently decry.
And did you just mention Infowars as a worthwhile source of information?
