How did McCarthy become famous?

Senator Joseph McCarthy became famous because his Senate hearings on communism in the US were televised and the threat of communism was a great cause for alarm for many Americans. The most powerful communist nation in the world was the Soviet Union. The USSR held on to the countries they invaded on their way to end the Nazi government in Germany. The eastern part of Europe was controlled by the Soviet Union and the foreign policy of the USSR and of communism in general was that expansion of its form of government was a good thing. Reading what Soviet writers published, indicated that so-called Western democracies, no matter how socialistic they were, we nations that required the type of government that the USSR had. The threat seemed real enough as China and North Korea became communist after WW 2 and unlike Romania, which the Soviets had occupied on their way to Berlin, China and North Korea became communist, for the most part, without the use of Soviet force.As the hearings of McCarthy became controversial and many seemed he was pointing guilt to true Americans the controversy added to his fame or better said his infamy. The Senate & the US president, Dwight Eisenhower basically shut down the Senators "operation" to find communists in the USA. US President Eisenhower agreed with the Senate's censure of McCarthy.
