“It had really begun. The issues were drawn, false issues; the real issues were postwar fear and uncertainty. Around the country [Joe McCarthy] flew, reckless and audacious, stopping long enough to make a new charge, to exhibit a new list, a good newsworthy press conference at the airport, hail-fellow well met with the reporters, and then on to the next stop, the emptiness of the charge never catching up with him, the American press exploited in its false sense of objectivity (if a high official said something, then it was news, if not fact, and the role of the reporter was to print it straight without commenting, without assaulting the credibility of the incredulous; that was objectivity). It was like a circus.”
–From David Halberstam’s “The Best and the Brightest” (1973).
