God bless Carlton Sherwood. The alphabet TV networks had a stranglehold on news being fed to the American people, and, of course, there was no Internet, no cable TV, and very few conservative pundits with newspaper columns.

For instance, CBS's Saint Walter Cronkite could tell America that the Tet Offensive was a major U.S. military defeat, when in fact it was the NVA/VC that suffered the huge losses. The U.S. military won every battle over there, but lost the PR war at home thanks to our left-wing contingent.

And equal blame should be shared by LBJ, Robert McNamara, and other U.S. 'leaders' who were the biggest bunch of spineless jellyfish that ever thought they could micro-manage a war.
