Vietnam war- Impact of the Media
The most Inaccurate reporting of that whole war occured at The so called Tet offensive.
Although U.S. public opinion polls continued to show a majority supporting involvement in the war, this support continued to deteriorate and the nation became increasingly polarized over the war.
The Media either overtly lied or ignored the facts or were blatantly libel in there arrogance in reporting non
More.. truths and the lack of retractions for these
Results and impact of the Offensive
The Tet Offensive was widely seen as the turning point of the war. While the Offensive was a massive military defeat for the communists it had profound psychological, political and economic impact on the United States.
The impact of the Tet Offensive in the United States and on the Vietnam War remains a controversial subject. According to one view, the Tet Offensive was an overwhelming victory for the United States in which the VC and NVA were militarily crushed but was mis-reported by the media as an American defeat.
So who is the liar? Less..
