CGiii Comment
Nominated for 6 Oscars but won NONE - shameful.
Everything is perfect, the writing, the performances, and the cinematography.
This is the dark hour of American politics - Advise & Consent is a definite comparison...but, is a shabby inferior to this exceptionally well-crafted film.
There is humour: Liberace talks on TV about getting married.
Clooney has made a film that reeks of quality...and, a treat to watch.

The(ir) Blurb...
In the early 1950's, the threat of Communism created an air of paranoia in the United States and exploiting those fears was Senator Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin. However, CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow and his producer Fred W. Friendly decided to take a stand and challenge McCarthy and expose him for the fear monger he was. However, their actions took a great personal toll on both men, but they stood by their convictions and helped to bring down one of the most controversial senators in American history.
