McCarthyism

In the book, Coulter argues U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy was unfairly portrayed by the U.S. media as persecuting people for political reasons. Coulter alleges McCarthy correctly identified communist foreign spies in the United States.

In an interview with David Bowman, Coulter said that Joseph McCarthy is the deceased person she admires the most. Coulter claims in Treason that McCarthy was simply misunderstood and unappreciated, and that the Venona cables and other sources have vindicated him by showing there indeed were Soviet spies in the United States government. In continuing efforts to exculpate McCarthy, she wrote some columns attacking George Clooney's movie Good Night, and Good Luck, about television journalist Edward R. Murrow and McCarthy. She claims McCarthyism is inaccurately portrayed as destructive.
