Makes me wonder about the journalistic integrity of some of the reporting that came out of the 60's. There was a website article several years ago written by a Chicago PD officer who was at the 1968 democratic national convention, and his account was certainly, uh, different than the History Channel or what they teach in school. Careful camera editing can sometimes make things appear a lot different than they really are.

Great point about Chicago - I love reexamining history in light of recent revelations.

OTOH, Daley was no Little Lord Fauntleroy and probably did tell his cops to "crack heads" (not that some of those heads shouldn't have been cracked, however). Sort of ironic that in so doing Daley, the democrat, hosed his fellow democrats in the '68 election.

you're exactly right. The media shaped events in the '60's (which is partially why we lost the Vietnam War). They can't do it anymore, which is why we will win from now on.
