[BC] Ed Murrow movie

[Douglas B. Pritchett]

While Joe McCarthy's original goal can be debated, his techniques and 
politics of personal destruction can not. He might have had good 
intentions at the start, but when he realized his "power" he sought only 
to advance his career at the expense of some innocents.
Murrow exposed his methods.
