Unlike the largely imaginary stories of the VVAW, the Hue Massacre, by far the most horrific war crime committed during the Vietnam War, was never reported on American television.

I returned to CONUS at the end of April, 1968 – and was shocked to find out that no one here knew about that massacre - or other atrocities committed by VC/NVA forces. All they knew about was some of the fabricated incidents involving US Troops.

imVho, LYING for political purposes OR "to make a better story" is the "stock in trade" of American mass media. period. end of story.
