60 years ago the American People took CBS, NBC and ABC at their word as guardians of national honor.

CBS, NBC and ABC controlled the narrative. There were no outlets for rebuttal.

Today, people have a completely different mindset about media and equal access to rebuttal, especially with Trump’s instant access to Tweeting.

The only way a McCarty like smearing could possibly work is if Trump was banned from Social Media.

Joe McCarthy was right there were Communists trying to infiltrate our government...ans some were already there.

Now look where we are. We got commies, muzzies and socialist all over our government.

America should have heeded Joes warnings.

Read BLACKLISTED BY HISTORY, by Stanton Evans, for the full story on Sen. Joseph McCarthy. Explodes the lies and gives a sympathetic picture of McCarthy.

McCarthy was proven right when the Venona Papers were released by the KGB in 1995.

Back then, the left still pretended to be decent. Those days are long gone.

What a joke. It's the Dems who have no decency. If they try this crap, it's going to backfire.

It'll just prove how bankrupt democrats are. They have nothing new to offer the People. Jus the same old Big Government lies...

Vote Trump!

Is this plagiarism? I think Andrea Mitchell (or one of them, hard to separate them ) said the same thing on a Sunday talk show. The media is really bending over backwards to outdo themselves on Trump. Even worse than they did on Reagan.

Hey, nice one WaPo! First time I’ve seen an enemedia outlet make a serious attempt at claiming Trump is Joseph McCarthy! Guess the Hitler thing hasn’t been working out too well lately, huh?

It’s the economy stupid. And a little bit about illegal immigration.

I remember. In the words of Nelson Rockefeller's public relations head, Stuart Spencer, (1964)

"We had to destroy Barry Goldwater as a member of the human race".

I have been pissed off ever since.

Forget McCarthy the better example of MSM employees, Dems and Repubs working to destroy a person is Goldwater. We got LBJ and look what happened!

I did not check to see if others have mentioned Goldwater. But I sure remember!

Hey Pollack, people had sense of decency way back then. Nowadays people hear a line like that and know it is a cheap partisan political ploy. In your case, a cheap common Commie
partisan Pollack political ploy.
