During the vietnam war, journalists

The correct answer should be, did not witness any combat on a firsthand basis

because

During the Vietnam War, Journalist accepted the U.S. government justification for the war, and called the military press briefings “five o’clock follies.”

More than 500 reporters were covering the war action in Vietnam by 1968. They were working for TV networks, radio broadcasting systems, national and international newspapers. Some reporters used military transportation to get closer to the action. Many died. Others stay away and worked in Saigon city, where they received the news from the Army, that were called “five o’clock follies.” It also was the first time that war film was transmitted to the public.

the vast majority of ballots have been counted nearly two weeks after one of the biggest political upsets in modern u.s. history catapulted donald trump to the presidency.

estimates show more than 58 percent of eligible voters went to the polls during the 2016 election, nearly breaking even with the turnout rate set during the last presidential election in 2012, even as the final tallies in states like california continue to be calculated, according to statistics collected by the u.s. elections project.

but among those figures were stark contrasts in key states that swing the election to trump — in ohio, wisconsin, iowa, michigan and elsewhere — indicating the president-elect’s leap from long-shot candidate to the most powerful political position in the world may have happened in part because of apathy toward hillary clinton’s candidacy, especially among the democratic base, several political scientists and organizations monitoring voter turnout told the pbs newshour.

while clinton is leading the popular vote by more than 1.5 million over trump as of sunday, she trails president obama’s 2012 totals by more than 2 million ballots — a chasm that may have cost her the election, said david becker, co-founder of the center for election and innovation and research.

“several million voters didn’t come out to vote,” becker said. “which is telling me that this idea of the trump wave, a huge number of voters shifting over to trump, is certainly not the story.”
