2) What method did Murrow and the other journalists use in the first story against McCarthy? Why did they choose this way to tell their story?
There really want a method that Murrow used against McCarthy. Once Murrow heard McCarthy was going to attack him, Murrow was already digging information about McCarthy. So he was waiting for the right time to act.

3) Describe McCarthy's appearance on Murrow's program. In your opinion, was it positive? Negative?
McCarthy's appearance was negative. He was defending himself, but was attacking Murrow (negative). I say this because he was name calling; calling him a leader of a jackle pack. In the movie it seemed that everyone was looking at McCarthy with disgust and disapproval. It seems as if no one liked him

4) Why did Murrow's schedule get changed on CBS from a nightly program to Sunday afternoons?
The reason why Murrow's schedule get change on CBS from a nightly program to Sunday afternoons because no one watches the news at those times. People were watching their favorite TV shows, or movies that played back to back. So basically no one watched the news those days.
