Cold War, C Medium: Television, McCarthyism, and American Culture (Film and Culture)
Cold War C Medium Television McCarthyism and American Culture - Film and Culture
Author: Thomas Doherty
Though conventional wisdom claims that television is a co-conspirator in the repressions of Cold War America, Doherty argues that during the Cold War, through television, America actually became a more tolerant place. He examines television programming and contemporary commentary of the late 1940s to the mid-1950s -- everything from See It N...  more » to I Love Lucy, from Red Channels to the writings of Walter Winchell and Hedda Hopper. By rerunning the programs, freezing the frames, and reading between the lines, Doherty paints a picture of Cold War America that belies many black and white cliches.
