To take on McCarthy-to tell the truth about what he was doing-took true courage. Murrow was a genuine journalist, someone who put the truth out there and let people form their own opinions. There are so many moments that predict the horror that "news" shows have become. When reporters should be covering facts, they are usually editorializing and calling it news. There many more moments that mirror our troubled times, where a voice of dissent is threatened and ridiculed instead of applauded. This should be required viewing for all journalism students-and all Fox "News" viewers. Bravo, Mr. Clooney!

While Quaid is praiseworthy in the role, this movie is nothing but a love letter to a man who is pretty much shown as having zero flaws. History tells us otherwise. It's such a shame that what could have been a true and moving biography was turned into republican propaganda to try to make Reagan some kind of folk hero. The man was used by Christian nationalists and profit evangelicals like Falwell because he needed their money and support. Bu the end of his second term, it was clear he was in mental decline, and that deserved more attention. A flawed and almost fictional rose-colored goasses look st the former president.
