Didnt FDR laugh and say that he didnt care that soviet agents were in his administration?
It just shows you-- if the lied about McCarthy going that far back, what ELSE did they lie about? Don't answer that...you could fill a library with all the lies have been told by the Enemy Within.

It wouldn't surprise me if Murrow has a "No Smoking" sign on his desk!

Hopefully, audiences will stay away in droves.
I think you can bank on it...the bulk of the movie-going demographics just ain't that interested in "ancient political history", let alone a B/W 'art film'...
Clooney's this decade's version of that actor (See - I can't even remember his name*) that decided he was smart enough to 'produce' and came up with things like "Waterworks".
*(Costner...finally popped in)

"Clooney film not high on facts"
Since when did liberals ever believe in facts?

The world according to Hollywood. There are never any facts involved.

As such, it offers mainly emotional, bombastic arguments and lots of style, but not much substance. In other words, it's more of the same quintessential drivel from the Left. Why bother with facts when one can present flashy fiction and pass it off as facts?

This movie will be fun. I hope it's discussed a lot. Would be great to get a good McCarthy debate out there in the public domain It really does seem counterproductive, from the lefts perspective to stimulate discussion about McCarthy. They couldn't possibly demonize him any further than they have already succeeded at doing.
Do they feel the need to impose the myth upon the younger generations that may not have yet assimilated the McCarthyism myth? I don't see them sitting still to watch this movie and those youths who would be curious enough to watch this movie probably will have a more jaundiced eye than their parents in that they have likely had some exposure to the truth, being internet aware, and be more aware of the Ratheresque tendencies of the media, especially the network that employed Morrow.

That's H'weird--someone's fantasy. Anyway, don't plan on seeing Clooney the Tooney in anything anymore.
To: Scarchin
Lots of movies have errors like that, some are very funny. One famous one is the electric bulb in the Atlanta street-lamp in Gone With the Wind.
One would think though, that nowadays set people wouldn't make such a mistake in a period piece.

"I've always been puzzled by the national news media's fascination with these McCarthy programs by Murrow and his team. They show a tendency to editorialize rather than use hard facts and rational arguments, and an inclination to avoid honest debate. Ironically, the same journalists who extol Murrow seem to look down their noses at Bill O'Reilly of Fox News, whose news commentaries and editorials are far more journalistically and factually sound, though perhaps just as bombastic (in their own way) as Murrow's."

i'd say that its worth seeing, even if innacurate. its fiction remember.. I don't buy any of the crap, but it doesn't mean I ddin't enjoy JFK.. then again, I liked Scarface too...

This is the picture that's up on Fox news online right now. Looks like they edited out the water bottle- but you can see traces of it.

Just finished re-reading the newest book on McCarthy. He was a great American and none of the previous books on him had been written after the declassification of Venona.
The central question of the McCarthy investigation was never answered: Who promoted Irving Peress?

Shakespeare had those sort of mistakes. There are clocks in Julius Carsar.
