Covering McCarthyism: How the Christian Science Monitor Handled Joseph R. McCarthy, 1950-1954

While many newspapers attacked McCarthy personally, the Monitor concentrated on the actions of the junior senator and the negative effects they were having at home and abroad. As Strout sees it, the Monitor served as a voice of moderation, while simultaneously being a persistent critic of McCarthy's tactics. |

Where freshman senators readily accept the ground rules — the creaking seniority system, the notions of courtesy, formal procedure, and team play — he went it alone, bowing to them when they served his purpose, trampling on them when they did not.
