Agree totally, the mainstream media, at that time, was instrumental in showing the horror of Vietnam which the right-wing blamed for making them pull out of Vietnam. Thanks to the media they lost the minds and hearts of the American public on that war. It wasn't just Allies, but major corporations started buying up radio stations, mass media to better control the information we received.
Just the way the Iraq invasion was cover, which was totally different from the way Vietnam was cover, by the now corp. control media shows they were very successful in their efforts.
