If you are talking about reading comprehension, let’s start with your assertion that I claimed that McCarthy was concerned about Stalin’s anti-Semitic campaign, which I certainly didn’t. You are the one who brought up McCarthy, for reasons that are still unclear. Also, while they are often conflated, McCarthy and the Blacklist were unrelated. McCarthy was concerned about supposed spies in the State Department, of which he claimed to have a list. Hollywood wasn’t his concern.
