Congressman's Viet Nam Visit Sees News Bias in War Coverage
Washington UPI The congressman sent to Viet Nam to study information policies says Americans lack a true picture of the war. Rep. David S. King Utah, after 24 weeks and talks with 45 or 50 newsmen, faults U.S. news emphasis on North Vietnamese forces and calls for more focus on winning non Communist South Vietnamese loyalties. He notes most fighting is by South Vietnamese Viet Cong and urges coverage of efforts to win civilian support rather than only battles and bomber raids.
