1:00:02
...evil of it!
1:00:04
- Well, I'd look at it...
- I don't think it's fair to a witness...
1:00:07
...to a citizen of this country...
1:00:08
...to bring them up here
and cross-examine them...
1:00:10
...then when they get through, say...
1:00:12
..."The FBI has got something on you
that condemns you."
1:00:15
- The Chair agrees...
- It is not sworn testimony...
1:00:17
...it's convicting people
by rumor and hearsay and innuendo.
1:00:22
You will notice that neither Senator
McClellan or Senator Symington...
1:00:26
...nor this reporter know or claim
that Mrs. Moss was or is a Communist.
1:00:31
They simply claimed that she had the
right to meet her accusers face to face.
1:00:49
One month ago tonight we presented
a report on Senator Joseph R. McCarthy.
1:00:54
We labeled it as controversial.
1:00:56
Most of that report consisted
of words and pictures of the Senator.
1:01:00
At that time, we said...
1:01:02
..."If theSenator believes we havedone
violence to his words or pictures..."
1:01:05
"...if he desires to speak,
to answer himself..."
1:01:08
"...an opportunity would be
afforded him on this program."
1:01:11
The Senator sought the opportunity
after 3 weeks...
1:01:15
...because he was very busy and wished
adequate time to prepare his reply.
1:01:19
We agreed.
1:01:21
We placed no restrictions on the manner
of the presentation of his reply...
1:01:25
...and we suggested that we would not
take time to comment...
1:01:28
...on this particular program.
1:01:30
Here now is Senator Joseph R. McCarthy,
junior Senator from Wisconsin.
1:01:35
Good evening. Mr. Edward R. Murrow,
Educational Director of the CBS...
1:01:42
...devoted his program
to an attack...
1:01:45
...on the work ofthe US Senate
Investigating Committee...
1:01:48
...and on me personally
as its Chairman.
1:01:51
Now, over the past 4 years,
he has made repeated attacks upon me...
1:01:55
...and those fighting Communists.
1:01:58
Of course, neither Joe McCarthy
nor Edward R. Murrow...
