Red Channels was a pivotal document in the McCarthy era, published by American Business Consultants in June 1950.

It named 151 actors, writers, musicians, and other professionals in the entertainment industry as alleged Communist sympathizers or 'liberal dupes,' effectively blacklisting them from employment.

The publication had a profound impact on the careers of those listed, including notable figures like Orson Welles, Leonard Bernstein, and Dorothy Parker.
