[QUOTE="ShadowSD:428055"]All that is true, since looking at the whole Vietnam era in hindsight and seeing all the video montages tricks people into thinking there's more coverage than there actually was at the time. However, what she is saying is totally dead on as far as how many Americans are AWARE of that news coverage, which is equally necessary and important. In the Vietnam era, households converged around the network television news broadcasts like a family ritual, and when Walter Cronkite came on the air in 1968 and said that we can no longer ignore the difference between the unrelenting optimism of American leaders and the facts on the ground, people listened. None of that would be possible today. Most people are so ignorant of the news and numb to outrage, even if the US were becoming a dictatorship and an anchor came on the air and reported it, the story would fade away among repetitive criticisms dismissing the anchor as a partisan.[/QUOTE]
