Reading from "The Darkening" by Rob and Laura Petri

Chapter 12: "Traitors Everywhere" and "Jewish Communists Exposed"

Chapter 13: "McCarthy Under the Gun" and "A Media Lynching"

These chapters center on the valiant work of Senator Joseph McCarthy and what happened when the Soviet Union finally recognized his work as dangerous to the cause of Communism.

We talk about just how much the media went to work to assassinate the character and person of Senator McCarthy and his hunt for members of the Communist 5th Column.
