20 years ago, the Vietnam protests were just dying down. the movie industry which has been one of the more vocal anti-war centers (except in making violent war movies which make money) was still somewhat respectful of the USG.
Was the media industry really anti-war, or just anti-Nixon? When Lyndon Johnson sent the troops to 'Nam, the media first supported him. When Nixon got elected, against the media's wishes, the media attacked him over everything he was doing, including the war, just like they attacked Reagan and Bush. I'm usure if Nixon had pulled out completely in '69, the media would have been pro-war. They're whores, like Declan McCulough.
The movie industry is not the same thing as the media. Observe the following: ------------------------------------------------- | | | Media ______________ | | |movie | | | | industry | | | |______________| | |_________________________________________________|
Dr. Grubor is a Viet Nam vet. I have great respect for him.
What did he do there? Media Relations? That would explain a lot of things.
