This "father knows best" type of newscasting/OPINION was in its heyday and continues on even now.
Look how long it took for them to mention Vietnam . . .
how little was made of the very close vote --- was it 100,000?
...and sharp to pick up the veiled attack on "large government programs" . . .
as though we didn't need tremendous governmental influence to overcome Segregation, Inc. -- !!!
Undoubtedly after the '63 coup on our government, they weren't about to have voters correct
the situation ---
The large computer counters began to come on line and the media were using them ---
often there would be a halt in the count --- computer breakdowns -- and then they would resume.
Two journalists in Florida became concerned about these bouncing computer tallies and
began an investigation ---
http://www.constitution.org/vote/votescam__.htm1968 was a highly questionable election and election outcome ---
not believable ----
And, again, reported later, we had Nixon working behind the scenes --
LBJ had stopped the bombing of VN -- and invited the enemy to the table.
In order to counter this effort for peace --- and its potential to take the election from him ---
Nixon worked to convey a different idea --- that if they would hold off from coming to the table
now that they would receive better conditions when he was in office. These messages were conveyed
thru someone in Washington -- a Vietnames woman, I believe.
At the war's ending, Kissinger PROMISED Vietnamese $3.5 billion in a "settlement" with them --
and it was never paid.
