During the semester, I shall post course material and students will comment on it. Students are also free to comment on any aspect of media politics, either current or historical. There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges.

Cronkite Interviews Kennedy
Former CBS Anchor Walter Cronkite used to interview presidents about issues. That is not the case these days where journalists interpret the news and don't allow politicians or presidential candidates to talk directly to the people.
In this clip, Kennedy is talking to Cronkite about the situation in Vietnam in 1963.
Nice clip. As I've mentioned before, Oliver Stone's movie JFK chopped the crucial final lines, where JFK reaffirmed that he opposed withdrawal from Vietnam.
