Question

The Tet Offensive was considered a turning point in media coverage of the Vietnam War. What happened as a result?

Media attention shifted toward student protests and away from the interviews with the troops and casualty reports that were previously shown.
Media coverage shifted away from the personal and toward facts and figures read on the air.
Anchormen like Walter Cronkite expressed their support for the troops.
Media coverage of the war became less upbeat and more oriented toward the violence of the war.

Answer 1

The correct answer is option D.  Media coverage of the war became less upbeat and more oriented towards the violence of the war.   Killing and bloodshed against the US troops on South Vietnamese streets became the national headlines in the US media.   This policy stunned each and every American which led to anti-war movements.
