The Vietnam War really shook journalism, and the reporters realized how they were being lied to.
Teddy Kennedy goes careening off a bridge, swims to safety, and leaves the young woman he was with to drown.
That really shook a lot of journalists who knew for years he was just a drunken mess, waiting to harm someone, and they had never reported it.
And then the final nail in the coffin of
this hands-off approach to president's sexual peccadillas was Watergate.
And after that, journalists felt that presidents were not to be protected and respected, but to be investigated.
So suddenly, all of these stories came out.
This was only about a decade after the JFK scandals.
And
Those people who were witnesses to his misbehavior or were his mistresses suddenly gave press interviews, wrote books.
So that's how come we know so much about JFK.
Right, and he did not seem to be capable of understanding how much he was harming his wife.
One of his friends said, you know, you are really hurting Jackie.
And Kennedy said, no, I'm not.
I give her everything she wants.
So to get back at him, she would spend wildly.
And at the last minute, as first lady, she would often refuse to go to events where people were lining up looking forward to meet her because she knew it drove him crazy.
Well, there are two issues of that.
One is there was a potential for spies.
You know, back in World War II, he was having an affair with a Swedish woman who was thought to be a spy for Hitler.
