Goodnight and Good Luck**    
(US 2005)                        

Edward R.Murrow takes on the oppression of Senator Joseph McCarthy at the risk to himself and the CBS Network.
Compelling and nice to look at journalistic crusade (particularly when watching now in the age of Trump), which also captures a vintage era of television with an added warning about its commercial trappings.
