For the first time in the U.S. history the press, which is described as playing a greater role in a democracy than government itself, is under sustained attack from the right, the reactionary or potentially fascist element in the U.S. Ever since the nation was established, however, the press has been attacked from other quarters. Many of critics have been journalists who felt strongly about ethics or lack of them, in their profession. One of the most sinister aspects of the movement known as McCarthyism is its effort to discredit and thereby to destroy the democratic elements in radio, TV, magazine and book-publishing circles, as well as the daily press. |
