Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Correct answer:  A.  An authorization for the President to use military forces in Vietnam.

The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, passed by Congress in August, 1964, after alleged attacks on two US naval ships in the Gulf of Tonkin.  The key wording in the resolution said:

  • Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that the Congress approves and supports the determination of the President, as Commander in Chief, to take all necessary measures to repel any armed attack against the forces of the United States and to prevent further aggression.

That resolution served as a blank check for President Johnson to send troops to whatever extent he deemed necessary in pursuance of the war.  Between 1964 and the end of Johnson's presidency in 1969, US troop levels in Vietnam increased from around 20,000 to over 500,000.

It showed politicians the importance of favorable media reports for their election campaigns.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is A: It increased politician´s suspicions about liberal media bias.

Explanation:

After the Watergate scandal came out into the open, Richard Nixon, in an attempt to fight back the furious attacks from the press, and regain a bit of dignity and face before the American public, initiated against journalists a terrible battle. From avoiding tenaciously all reporters, intimidating reporters, and staging televised events from the White House, these strategies were all used by Nixon and are still being used by other Presidents, like George W. Bush and Barack Obama. In essence, the resignation of President Nixon was one of the greatest victories of the press, as it was their tenacity in exposing the case, which finally brought justice, but it spurred a lot of enmity between politics and journalism.
