Good luck and Good night on the Venezuelan style

check this out

Last week I saw the movie "Good luck and Good night" on the movie channel ,Showtime and I was really existed to watch that movie to know more about the McCarthy's era which I always hear about , it started when I was younger and I began to hear about the name "McCarthy" in the famous legendary old TV show "Oscar" that was used to be aired on Thursday nights , it used to show the films that took awards and honors , the name of "Joseph McCarthy" came in the 1950s and 1960s era when they brought some movie whose one of its makers from producers or from director or mainly from screen play writers were prosecuted in the charge of beginning a communist ,for example the screen play writers who wrote that wonderful masterpiece of "The Bridge on the river Kwai" were not credited because they were blacklisted in McCarthy black list of intellectuals and persons who opposed his and the American administration policies at that time

Anyhow we go back to "Good luck and Good night" which was based upon a true events that happened , the first clash between the Media presented by the TV "CBS station" and Senator Joseph McCarthy presenting the republican government then in the land of Freedom ,McCarthy then started his raid over any one who opposed what he thought to be an American ideology as for him and those people he presented those opponents were communists , anyone who even just passed under the American communist party that was closed in 1930s was a suspected Spy for the Soviet . Anyone who defends the rights of any citizen concerning his privacy and so on was labeled to be a communist spy

It was the Inquisition trials in the American congress of the mid 20th century ,you know McCarthy would be very happy with the Patriotic act

The one person began to stand against McCarthy in the media in time where everyone was scared from him and establishment like the army ,it was Edward Murrow , along with his TV show News room members in CBS they stood against McCarthy with no fear to present his mistakes , to present the other side of the coin ,for the first time his victims spoke , Murrow criticized McCarthy and of course he took from the love a part as we say in Egypt , McCarthy accused him of being communist as usually ,not that only his TV show was canceled in the end"

Murrow got very famous phrase in his TV show when he started the Series concerning "McCarthy"

We will not walk in fear of one another.

I don't know why I remember him ,McCarthy and all that Jazz when I read that news in Yahoo! concerning President Chavez of Venezuela and his move to close a private TV channel in which he considered to a Spy channel for the C.I.A as it opposed his socialist ideas !!!

Look if that TV channel was a really funded by the C.I.A then he should present the evidence on that , hard real evidence this one

Number two ,I don't know why he is so scared from one channel that opposed his view to influence the majority that already chose him for the third time !!

Number three, Not every person who opposed the Socialism will be a spy for the United States , well I am against his policies but I believe I am not a spy for the United States either

Number four he came through democratic process so why he doesn't respect that democratic process and respect his opponents

You know it is so silly but it seems to me that Chavez is not also Nasser of South America but also he is Joseph McCarthy of South America
