Good Night, And Good Luck (2005)
Friday, March 17th, 2006We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty.
I posted my original review of Good Night, And Good Luck when it was in the theaters last year. Now that it’s out on DVD, I hoped you might permit me to climb on to my creaky old soap box for a moment.
It’s a bit of a fashion among some conservatives to attempt to rehabilitate the image of Senator Joseph McCarthy, to portray him as a misunderstood patriot brought low by the left wing media elite. To them, KGB files that confirm the not unsurprising fact that, yes, there were actually communists in America during the fifties somehow vindicate the Senator’s methods.
