1. The CBS executives and journalists were so hesitate about questioning Senator McCarthy because they didn't want to defy the corporate and sponsorship pressures.
2. Methods Murrow and the other journalists use in their first story against McCarthy was defending Milo Radulovich by making a show of McCarthy attacking him.
3. McCarthy's appearance on Murrow's program lacked contextualization and his actions seemed undetermined and over dramatic. In my opinion it did not look like a positive look for McCarthy. It made him look crazy and not the best kind of leader.
4. Murrow's schedule got changed on CBS program because he had to get censored on his shows.
5. The "downfall of television" is being referred to the outcomes of situations. Even when they are telling the truth or keeping something a secret it will get discovered or punished for it.
6. What ended up happening to McCarthy was he got censored for being on television.
7. Murrow's speech at the beginning and the end of the television show was about how television can be used as a tool.
