Originally posted by MontanaKid I worked as a newspaper journalist before practicing law. I researched press coverage of the Vietnam war for my degree.

I don't share the opinion here of the media. Most American media offered at least tacit support to the war until it's final stages.

An was placed with Time, not because Time was some kind of leftist publication that shared his views, but for the opposite reason, Time was a magazine that supported the war and because of that, had very good access to the American Military leadership in Saigon. After all, if you have a spy, you want to get him as far inside the enemy camp as you can.

The American press can actually be accused more of shirking their responsibility in Vietnam by staying in the cities and accepting the military handouts. That's what my research found.

Thank you for your input!

PS---Just proves my point of how untrustworthy and uninformed Ben Stein has been and continues to be!
