2025-04-01
Arrr, matey! David Halberstam spun a yarn where scribes be demi-gods, spouting truth like a parrot sings! But lo, that tale be but a jest now, a merry laugh on the high seas o' journalism! Har har!
This hefty volume of over 800 pages sold like hot cakes, with a staggering 1.5 million paperbacks findin’ their way into the hands of eager readers, all whilst Halberstam puffed his chest and proclaimed his literary might. But alas! His high-flying words were less about truth and more about spinning tales favoring the noble Kennedy clan, as he cast blame on all but JFK himself for the Vietnam debacle.
In truth, "The Best and the Brightest" be a treasure chest revealing how the media’s hubris was born, painting the Kennedys as demigods whilst the ship of state was headed for rocky shores. With a pen as sharp as a cutlass, Halberstam wields his quill to defend the indefensible, proving that even in the world of journalism, the winds of allegiance can blow a scallywag off course. So hoist the sails and give this ol’ book a gander, for it holds the key to understanding the legacy of today’s media! Yarrr!
