Barry Goldwater Dodd as Viet Nam warning voice
Senator Thomas Dodd is portrayed as a clear voice on Viet Nam akin to Kenneth Keating on Cuba warning against distorted reporting. The piece argues that bias from U.S. reporters and officials fuels opposition to strong U.S. action, risking a loss of public support and future policy. It cites Buddhists, press embassies, and alleged antiwar sentiment shaping coverage and warns against undermining Viet Nam policy.
