this is the #1 topic of the los angeles times because many of these people were from hollywood. the times carried this on the front page the other day. whenever one of these people dies, the times celebrates with a half page obituary.
these obits are always written from the point of view that they were right. one argument is that communism was "humanistic", and that can't be wrong.
nixon as a young congressman played a key role in huac, and he paid dearly for it. the left never forgave dick nixon for his participation in huac or his u.s. senate race against helen gilhagen douglas, whom he called "pink".
today the los angeles times reverses its anger about mccarthy and attacks "anti-semites" as mccarthy did.
nixon was a victim of his own hubris and the media left.

nixon was a victim of his own hubris and the media left.I suspect that the destruction of McCarthy was where the OldDominantLiberalMedia learned just how powerful it was, and how free from restraint it might be.
It appears to me, more and more, that Watergate was essentially a "Media Coup".
