Week 5: TV & McCarthyism


This week I chose to talk about Joseph McCarthy and his effects on television. He was responsible for creating quite a stir amongst the television industry by accusing high profile celebrities with being members of the Communist Party. Lucille Ball of I Love Lucy comes particularly to mind. She was later relieved of this accusation. Finally he was shut down by the bravery of one man whom decided to stand up against his false accusations.
