I actually liked Good Night Good Luck a bit more. A 7/10 in my book. Some interesting parralels with reporting (or lack thereof) today, especially as the McCarthyism relates to the early part of the Iraqi war, when anyone who disagreed with the policy was lableled an anti-American by the government/press.
At the end though, it was a bit disjointed. The Robert Downey Jr character was well played, but really what was the point of adding the character at all? It was sort of like filler that didn't really enhance the plot.
