>>> the media was not overly sympathetic to the Yippies and Hippies <<<
I was quite young at the time, but I don’t remember the media being very sympathetic to the US effort in support of South Vietnam — in the early 70s or later. Hollywood certainly wasn’t!
The media actually did support Vietnam till Tet...Howard K Smith lost a son there I think...or it may have been Severied(?)
even after Tet, all the anchors did not follow Walter
the media was not nearly as overtly in the lefty tank like today and they openly scorned the counter culture..
Hollywood had lefties yes but it still had patriots then too and the patriots were big box office
