A report by Edward R. Murrow and producer Fred Friendly airs on the CBS television show "See It Now," criticizing Wisconsin Sen. Joseph McCarthy's anti-Communism campaign. The show contributes to the political downfall of McCarthy, and cements its place in television history. It also inspires the 2005 Academy Award-nominated film "Good Night, and Good Luck."
