We are invited to take the Drive By Media's word that that quote was the end of the argument. Which is about like taking the Democrats' word on when a recount of a vote is completed - the moment the Democrat gets ahead, naturally . . .If you read the contemporary accounts of how McCarthy was suppressing free speech in America, you will find ample "documentation" of the "fact" - which only proves that the news media was not being censored at that time. A fair reading of the press of the time would show that McCarthy was under propaganda assault, taking as much as he gave - and ultimately, of course, much more than he gave.
Is Dan Rather's epitaph in the Drive By Media "Finally, sir, do you have no shame?"
Of course not. But it should be.
