The biggest fear comes from fear itself

The campaign launched by McCarthy in the United States is a "sequelae of World War II." After the Second World War, the Iron Curtain came, and the two camps silently resumed production while strengthening their control over public opinion and the media. In World War II, the Germans used their propaganda tools to their fullest, which opened their eyes to both camps. As a result, even the federal system known as "democracy" has been shrouded in shadows-this shadow is not against some kind of "ism", but the worry and fear of "freedom."

After experiencing the baptism of World War I, the Great Depression, and World War II, the wounds suffered by any country in the first 50 years of the 20th century cannot be healed in a short period of time. Trauma is not just physical form, mental form trauma, just like the later term "Vietnam War sequelae" and so on, it is long-term painful. It is necessary to defend freedom, but when McCarthy starts to wield a big stick, it is often the innocent who suffer. This PBS TV show reflects this history of anti-oppression: when the concept of freedom is sacred, how do we defend it? Is it to wipe out those heretics? Or exile all dissidents? When violence and violence became popular, the guise of "freedom" lost its symbolic meaning.

McCarthy is under the lens, constantly using various channels to collect dissident materials, in order to intimidate and hold the public to "cleanse" dissidents with them. Everyone, every person who is considered to be a dissident, is insignificant; especially considering McCarthy’s "evidence", perhaps these "evidence" are just hearsay and chaotic, but no one will not be afraid, because everyone They all have weaknesses, they all don’t want to be known, and they don’t want their misfortune to harm those around them. The human heart of most people is good, and those evil people take advantage of this.

In this film, after the first episode of the McCarthy program was broadcast, the directors sat in the bar, waiting for the newspaper in the early hours of the next morning. During the time when I was fetching the newspaper, there was silence around me. Their actions are just, but they don’t know whether they are “timely”; if the people are still deceived by McCarthy’s intimidation, and if other media do not support them and do not stand on their side, they may not be just waiting for them. "Resign" is as simple as that.

There will always be pain in society, but the time to heal the pain can be long or short. In some authoritarian countries, high-level leaders would rather the people be fooled into forgetting their own pain, as if they are in a cloud of auspicious clouds; in other countries, when the weight of analgesics is increased to exceed the pain itself, they will Some people first showed anxiety, which caused the whole society to wake up from a deep sleep.

Good night, and good luck, from a situational point of view, the best translation is "Thank you for your appreciation". This is the end of the day and the end of a period of time.

    Little "Story from the CBS Newsroom" has made people see the power and distortion of mass media, and it is informative and rich enough to be used as an internal reference for the journalism industry.

  • Edward R. Murrow: [giving a speech to the Radio-Television News Directors Association] I began by saying that our history will be what we make it. If we go on as we are, then history will take its revenge, and retribution will not limp in catching up with us.
