A one-hour documentary that I don't recall ever seeing before. Produced back in 1984 and narrated by Charlton Heston

Vietnam War - The Impact of the Media

Quote:
Vietnam War - "The Impact of Media" explores in detail the 'media distortions' due to television's misrepresentations during the Vietnam War. It rebuts the view promoted by PBS's 13-part documentary series, "Vietnam: A Television History". The rebuttal also applies to "The Ten Thousand Day War" series. "The Impact of Media" is a must-see for historians and politicians alike. The late president Ronald Reagan lauded this rebuttal video when he watched it and said that it's "something all Americans should see". Produced in 1984.

Additionally, there is a 10-part series of articles from a group, Vietnam Veterans for Academic Reform on Vietnam and the media

The site was also very supportive back in 2004.
