No.
The essential difference: McCarthy was right.
I just call them communists and traitors when I am in polite company- when I am with the boys I call them aholes- but that is just me
Joe McCarthy was trying to root out commies - the “media” is nothing but commies.
McCarthy was a good man
The term “ Goebbelites’” is more apprpriate and Goebbels’ quotes about propaganda are spot on with their campaign
Check out Goebbels’ principles of propaganda
Sound like a familiar blueprint?

McCarthy was “borked”. We shouldn’t dignify the kind of people who routinely “bork” normal Americans with McCarthy’s name.
What would be inaccurate about calling them “lying pieces of crap?”
Go to any mainstream news source, don’t care which it is. CNN, MSNBC, ABC, etc.
How many times has that source said “Trump is incompetent” or had on a guest that said the same or in some way iterated that or a similar message?
How many times has anyone at similar media level called that particular source “not credible”, “fake”, or “inaccurate”.
You’ll let me know when the numbers get to under 300:1.
How many times has anyone at equivalent POLITICAL level called that particular source “not credible”, “fake”, or “inaccurate”.
You’ll let me know when the numbers get to under 10,000:1.
I believe repeating “The Washington Post is the least believed (sub: credible) newspaper in America” is very important.
Wouldn’t want to denigrate McCarthy’s name by associating it with them.
No. Just call them biased sheep and brainless thugs.
Most people today don’t know their history well enough to get what McCarthy was trying to do. They don’t see the subtle difference between documented fact and the gratuitous name calling we hear now from the left. Such discernment would require too much actual thinking. Too much individual effort. Thinking is hard!
Seditionists. They need to be destroyed.
No.
McCarthy actually told the truth. The MSM does not.
“Question: Can we start calling the media “McCarthyites”?”
Absolutely not! Sen Joe McCarthy was a great American patriot who brought attention to the communists who had infiltrated the government. He was ultimately destroyed by the democRAT commies, MSM and the Hollywood lefties. May he RIP.

The Mainstream media should henceforth referred to as the Democrat Media. Make them defend themselves against it. They will look increasingly ridiculous.
Fiction writers is more like it.
No. McCarthy was good. They don’t deserve the positive association.
