‘Media coverage of the Vietnam War was the most important reason for growing
demands for peace from the American public.’
How far do you agree with this interpretation? Explain your answer.



Answer :


Media coverage of the Vietnam War did increase demands for peace from the American public.  Americans saw on television many reports that were very disturbing. They thought the war was unnecessary and that too many of our soldiers were losing their lives or limbs in a war that had no end. The American soldiers were not honored like soldiers from other wars! There was not great respect shown for them as they returned from service in Vietnam. This was created from the way the media handled reports!
