Why did US public opinion turn against the Vietnam war?
What are the key arguments of the Port Huron Statement?
Do you think the news media turned more people against the Vietnam war or against the antiwar activists?
What were the long-term consequences of antiwar activism?

Answer 1

Constant media updates and live coverage of the war. Sure the news media did much more damage turning people against the Vietnam war . Draft dodging and an erosion of the American people’s view of the United States military as a whole . Not to mention the adverse effects of the United States foreign policy and international influence on matters of security and trade.
