Description 1 streaming video (approximately 93 min.) : sound, black and white Summary Takes place in the 1950's America, during the early days of broadcast journalism. It chronicles the real-life conflict between television newsman Edward R. Murrow and Senator Joseph McCarthy and the House Un-American Activities Committee. With a desire to report the facts and enlighten the public, Murrow, and his dedicated staff - headed by his producer Fred Friendly and Joe Wershba in the CBS newsroom - defy corporate and sponsorship pressures to examine the lies and scaremongering tactics perpetrated by McCarthy during his communist 'witch-hunts'. A very public feud develops when the Senator responds by accusing the anchor of being a communist. In this climate of fear and reprisal, the CBS crew carries on and their tenacity will prove historic and monumental Notes Originally released as a motion picture in 2005 Credits Director of photography, Robert Elswit ; editor, Stephen Mirrione ; music, Jim Papoulis ; costume designer, Louise Frogley ; production designer, James D.
