Good Night and Good Luck was Directed by George Clooney in 2005.

David Straithairn stars as legendary television journalist Edward R. Murrow, who publicly challenged Senator Joseph McCarthy’s assertions about alleged communist infiltrators in the army and other branches of the federal government in the early 1950s. Murrow’s heroic unwillingness to back down is a testament to the power of a free press.
