Exception: See It Now

1950 - Red Channels Red Channels named dozens of TV and radio writers, actors, producers, directors, executives as Communist sympathizers. Shows began disappearing from TV and radio. Actors and actresses were suddenly dismissed from series. Blacklist management became part of the industry.

Edward R. Murrow Became famous to US audiences for reporting from London for CBS during the Blitz in World War 2 Perhaps the most-trusted journalist of his time. In 1951, started a weekly TV news broadcast, See It Now. (He also did a celebrity interview show called Person to Person.) In March 1954, See It Now aired “A Report on Sen. Joseph McCarthy.”

Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R-WI) US Senator 1946-1957 In 1950, became the face of an anti- Communist campaign in the US. The term “McCarthyism” originated then to describe his tactics. He accused many government workers of being communists, often with no evidence. He led Senate hearings to interrogate them. In 1954 the US Senate voted to censure him.

Milo Radulovich from the Air Force because his family was thought to be Communist sympathizers 1953-1954 - See It Now runs several segments against McCarthy “The line between investigating and persecuting is a very fine one, and the junior senator from Wisconsin has stepped over it repeatedly.”
