A man who said he was a Vietnam veteran spat tobacco juice in Jane Fonda’s face at a Kansas City book signing, calling her a traitor for a trip she made to Hanoi in 1972, police said Wednesday…. In the book, she addresses her position as a polarizing figure for many Vietnam veterans and others outraged by her 1972 trip to Hanoi to oppose the Vietnam war.
So let’s evaluate what we know from this article. Clearly, it’s the vet’s position that Fonda is a dehumanized political figure who may be degraded in public by anyone with ninety minutes to spare and a buck for a wad of chewing tobacco. On Fonda’s side, we get to learn that she went to Hanoi in 1972, and she has some thoughts on that issue. What those thoughts might be remain a mystery.
So, is this an example of balance? Or liberal media? I report, you decide.
