Mia and Ronan Farrow's McCarthyism

Mia and son's ongoing character assassination of Allen reeks of McCarthyism. Their attacks on him are personal rather than political but the tactics are the same...making accusations without proper regard for evidence. McCarthy used similar methods in his efforts to destroy the careers of many Hollywood greats including threatening the career of anybody that would work with them.

We are at the point where we need an Edward R Murrow in the media to take a stand against the Farrows and their disgraceful actions.

It troubles me to see American liberals turning into the kind of McCarthyist trash we once fought so hard to destroy.

U.S. anti-Communist propaganda of the 1950s, specifically addressing the entertainment industry

McCarthyism is the practice of making accusations of subversion or treason without proper regard for evidence.[1] It also means "the practice of making unfair allegations or using unfair investigative techniques, especially in order to restrict dissent or political criticism."[2] The term has its origins in the period in the United States known as the Second Red Scare, lasting roughly from 1950 to 1956 and characterized by heightened political repression against communists, as well as a campaign spreading fear of their influence on American institutions and of espionage by Soviet agents. Originally coined to criticize the anti-communist pursuits of Republican U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin, "McCarthyism" soon took on a broader meaning, describing the excesses of similar efforts. The term is also now used more generally to describe reckless, unsubstantiated accusations, as well as demagogic attacks on the character or patriotism of political adversaries.
