I hope they mean Senator McCarthy and the House as 2 separate entities. It's a little pet peeve of mine, but Senator McCarthy had nothing to do with a House Committee. I think HUAC actually pre-dated McCarthy.

I watched this last night for the first time. I enjoyed it but I'm not excited about it. I thought it was rather dry. I do wish Edward R. Murrow was around in today's political climate.

Peace...

I feel ya Tom. It was very interesting, but it was also a film I don't plan on visiting again for a very long time.

Maybe if it was longer and covered more of Murrow's career, I would have enjoyed it more.

Peace...
