Popular newsman Edward R. Murrow exposes Senator Charles McCarthy on his widely viewed TV show. McCarthy responds with a scathing attack that almost destroys his personal and professional life. Good period detail from the days when integrity in news reporting still mattered, but talky and lacking any real emotional involvement.
