Re: Allison Hayward’s piece on Greta Van Susteren today, Romenesko has highlighted a controversy back in good old Wisconsin about Van Susteren’s father Urban, who worked for Sen. Joe McCarthy. The angry left at Madison’s Capital Times newspaper uses the book as an occasion to strangely posit that McCarthy represented “more of a threat to individual liberty, freedom of expression and constitutionally protected rights than any foreign foe ever did or will.” The also liberal newspaper the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel offers a sensible reality check.
