March 9, 1954 –
Edward R. Murrow and his CBS news program, See It Now, examined Senator Joseph McCarthy’s record and anti-communist methods on their famous A Report on Senator Joseph McCarthy segment on this date.
Edward R. Murrow, cigarette smoking, gin guzzling reporter took on the cigarette smoking, whiskey drinking junior senator and demagogue from Wisconsin, Joseph McCarthy and the Red Scare hysteria on his program, See It Now, on this date.
Besides being arguably television’s finest hour, it clearly demonstrates the powers of gin over whiskey.
