McCarthy, 1950-1954","description":"\u003cp\u003eStrout examines how the \u003ci\u003eChristian Science Monitor, \u003c\/i\u003e a highly influential newspaper of the era, covered Joseph R. McCarthy and McCarthyism from the Senator's Lincoln Day speech in February 1950 through his censure in December 1954. Through his in-depth examination of the \u003ci\u003eMonitor's\u003c\/i\u003e interoffice communications, Strout examines how the \u003ci\u003eMonitor's\u003c\/i\u003e coverage compared with other elite and popular press newspapers and how the pressures associated with McCarthyism affected individuals at the \u003ci\u003eMonitor\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn extensive review of the \u003ci\u003eMonitor\u003c\/i\u003e's editorials and news articles suggests that it was remarkably thorough and fair in its reporting, while still being outspoken, but responsible in its criticism. While many newspapers attacked McCarthy personally, the \u003ci\u003eMonitor\u003c\/i\u003e concentrated on the actions of the junior senator and the negative effects they were having at home and abroad. As Strout sees it, the \u003ci\u003eMonitor\u003c\/i\u003e served as a voice of moderation, while simultaneously being a persistent critic of McCarthy's tactics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lawrence N.
