This article tests the credibility of the 1982 internal CBS News investigation known as the Benjamin Report, which concluded that the CBS Reports documentary "The Uncounted Enemy: A Vietnam Deception" violated network standards. This report has yet to be critiqued as an historical artifact or tested against primary documents. Historical analysis reveals the Benjamin Report exhibited many of the deficiencies attributed to the documentary. This analysis begins with the confluence of journalism and military intelligence leading up to the documentary, and this is followed by interpretations of the importance of the documentary, the relationship between journalism and American intelligence issues, and the association between the Benjamin Report and the history of New York Times Co. v. Sullivan. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
