... for 10,000 days news from Viet Nam was piped to us by the major networks... Of course that was when there were real reporters in the field, not the Geraldos of today.
Film directly from the front, not the "Press Pool" Crap we see day after day now... (A lesson learned from Viet Nam, and tried and true Press suppression instituted in Operation Desert Storm).
People would rather sit at home and watch Survivor, American Idol and the pablum fed to them by the networks, so that they do not have to think about the loss of lives in the ME.
The coverage was much better 40 years ago than it is now.
The Nielsen Ratings saw to that.
