Explanation:

Good Night and Good Luck was a historical drama that was directed by George Clooney. The drama was based upon the conflict between Edward R. Murrow and Joseph McCarthy.

"Good Night and Good Luck" was the signing off phrase of Edward R. Murrow, a television and radio journalist. Murrow believed that the notoriousness of McCarthy was necessary to be broadcasted.

McCarthy began investigation on various government departments without any evidences, which later came to be known as Red Scare.

So, to uncover this face of McCarthy before public, Murrow with his team, and CBS newsroom defied pressures from sponsors and corporate and aired the story.

So, from the given options, one that is false is option C. It is because CBS were not fearful of losing sponsors rather defied their pressures.
