He appeared on it. That cut his throat right there. He looked and talked like a lying weasel, which was amplified by the stark black and white TV image. And he was talking with Edward R. Murrow at the time - one of the most trusted and respected Americans alive in that era. The contrast was the kiss of death for McCarthy.
