Historian Kathryn McGarr takes aim at the conventional view of the Cold War Washington press corps as a group of naïve transcriptionists. In this episode, she details the sense of responsibility driving Washington reporters in the '40s and '50s and explains their resulting complicity in passing lies and misinformation to the public.
