Other Thoughts: "The Power of the Media"

I have a new post up at Other Thoughts from a Big Life in Rural Mississippi.

The morning after he withdrew from the 1968 presidential campaign, LBJ delivered a speech to the National Broadcasting Association in which he mused on the role of what we now call MSM/Legacy Media in American political life.

I excerpt some passages, and link to the whole thing.

To quote Foxworthy--

THE PRESIDENT'S ON... ALL THREE CHANNELS!!!

Viet Nam was not settled at that time. Historical perspective.
