Good Night and Good Luck Questions

1. CBS executives and its journalists were so hesitant about questioning senator McCarthy because of the corporate sponsors to desist.

2. They used an attacking method in the first story. They choose this way to tell their story because it will get him to speak by which he could admit what he's done.

3. McCarthy's appearance on Murrow's program was awkward because he was being brutalized by Murrow. It was such a negative appearance because it made his popularity worst.

4. Murrow's schedule got changed because he was always coming at people and telling people on his show to "shut up."

5. Friendly and Murrow refer to it as the "downfall of television" because they reported entertainment instead of facts and real news.

6. McCarthy was censured by the U.S senate.

7.Murrow's speech at the beginning and the end of the film was about how journalism has become occupied with presenting only good news and how journalists have succumb to escapism, losing touch with the real world.
