Walter Cronkite's special interview from Vietnam did not _____.

result in a fine for CBS's violation of the Fairness Doctrine
illustrate the media's perceived effect on public opinion
cause the president to reconsider running for reelection
result in President Nixon encouraging the silent majority to come forward
happen shortly before Nixon announced that he'd run for president with his big ticket item being a promise to stop the war

Walter Cronkite went to Vietnam in the wake of the Tet Offensive in 1968 with a preconceived notion that the Communists had won a great victory that proved the United States could never win the war in Vietnam. He slanted his reporting to prove his point, and refused to look at any evidence that the Viet Cong/National Liberation Front/North Vietnamese Army had, in fact, suffered a crushing military and political defeat. The rest of the liberal media, which had always leaned towards supporting the Communists, jumped on the bandwagon and spent the next five years browbeating the American public with the message the war in Vietnam was unwinnable. Draw your own conclusions.
