For Media Elites, War Criminal Henry Kissinger Was a Great Man.
- Authors
SOLOMON, NORMAN
- Abstract
The article discusses the media's portrayal of Henry Kissinger, a former U.S. official, as a respected statesman despite his involvement in war crimes. The media establishment has consistently praised Kissinger, even after his death, highlighting his role in shaping U.S. foreign policy. However, the article argues that Kissinger's actions resulted in the deaths of millions of people, particularly in Vietnam, Chile, and East Timor. The author criticizes the media's positive portrayal of Kissinger and calls attention to the devastating consequences of his policies.
