The film chronicles a vigorous political struggle in the United States in the middle of the last century, which is an indispensable page in the history of American journalism and politics. The Columbia TV journalists fought McCarthyism to the end and pulled the ugly politician off the political stage.

The ending was so neat, it left me stunned for a moment. The jazz songs in it are pretty good. In other words, this McCarthyism is very similar to some practices during the Cultural Revolution in a certain country. .

Colonel Anderson: Wouldn't you guess that the people who have seen the contents of that envelope might have a better idea of what makes someone a danger to his country, or do you think it should just be you, sir, who decides?
Fred Friendly: Who? Who? Who are these people, sir? Who are the people? Are they elected? Are they appointed? Is it you?

[last lines]
Edward R. Murrow: To those who say people wouldn't look; they wouldn't be interested; they're too complacent, indifferent and insulated, I can only reply: There is, in one reporter's opinion, considerable evidence against that contention. But even if they are right, what have they got to lose? Because if they are right, and this instrument is good for nothing but to entertain, amuse and insulate, then the tube is flickering now and we will soon see that the whole struggle is lost. This instrument can teach, it can illuminate; yes, and it can even inspire. But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends. Otherwise it is merely wires and lights in a box. Good night, and good luck.
