Google McCarthy,HUAC and about the third reference down is"The HUAC fallout and end of Hollywood's Golden Era."The statement"Under new guidance......and later under Joseph McCarthy HUACwould launch new investigations into Hollywood"... is so wrong!This is pure disinformation.(A LIE!)

found this as a footnote on the same page...

(13) Barry Goldwater, With No Apologies (1979)

Joe McCarthy was unquestionably the most controversial man I ever served with in the Senate. The anti-anticommunists were outraged at his claims that some of the principals in the Truman and Roosevelt administrations actively served the communist causes.

McCarthy was supported by a strong, nationwide constituency, which included among others, Joseph P. Kennedy, the father of John, Bob, and Edward. A variety of respected, creditable federal employees disturbed by security risks in the national government provided McCarthy with a steady stream of inside information.

The liberals mounted a skillfully orchestrated campaign of criticism against Joe McCarthy. Under the pressure of criticism, he reacted angrily. It is probably true that McCarthy drank too much, overstated his case, and refused to compromise, but he wasn't alone in his beliefs.

Very difficult to find about author, people and organizations behind the webpage ...rto
