Ideas for future CBS News Film Festival

CBS News

With the recent release of Good Night, and Good Luck, George Clooney's study of Edward R. Murrow and his role in exposing the McCarthy hearings for the un-American activities that they were, I would like to offer some ideas for a future CBS News festival of film, titled something like "The Embattled Newsroom: CBS News and the Fight for Truth."

Good Night and Good Luck
Good Night, and Good Luck. CBS News team bitch slaps Sen. Joseph McCarthy on "See It Now"!

The Insider
The Insider. CBS News producer Lowell Bergman gets insider Jeffrey Wigand to tell all on "60 Minutes"!

Dan Rather biopic
What's the Frequency, Kenneth? CBS News anchor Dan Rather cultivates reputation of being sort of insane, then in his final year, blows it on a stupid forged document about Bush's Air National Guard service record!

Actually that last Dan Rather biopic hasn't been made yet, but we're sure it's coming.
