Bad for their business -- they're losing money.
Bad for this country -- they want us to lose the war.
Bad for journalism as a profession -- they lose respect due to their willful distortion of the truth.
Johnson and SecDef decided that U.S.S. Liberty should be written off and cancelled all efforts to go to their aid in 1967. They assumed it would sink but the crew of CTs and skipper sailed it backwards for 700 miles to port without any assistance from our Navy. Thanks Pres Johnson.
