But once the Media realized their mistake, and put Nixon into office, they went into overdrive to ruin Nixon. It took 5+ years, but ultimately, they succeeded.
And I’m not the biggest fan of Nixon, by any stretch, but it’s a disgrace what they did to him.
Hey, I’m not a fan of all his policies (I only tolerate the EPA mostly because I know where “CRUD” originated from before their creation, and his making that deal with China was a mistake), but I’m dang glad he won Vietnam. Too bad they definitely tarnished him as a bad guy, though. And thanks to that, Americans are now tricked into rooting for Vietcong members in Star Wars due to George Lucas basically modeling the Rebels, those quintessential “American” heroes, after the Vietcong, and then had the audacity to brag about it many times afterwards.
And thanks to their removal of Nixon from office, Vietnam is a Communist state.
