Good post Paul.
The Washington Post is clearly aware that their article misrepresents the context of Kennedy's request to muzzle Halberstam. JFK was clearly trying to silence a CIA proxy reporter who was translating pro-CIA opinions from the likes of Vann and all the CIA 'sources' Halberstam admitted. The Post has misrepresented the truth so badly that it stands as libel. Anyone who reads the Post article I linked will come away with the idea that Kennedy tried to remove Halberstam to protect his aggressive pro-war policy and stop Halberstam from exposing the impossibility of Viet Nam. It is clear to me that the reason the establishment media commits this outrageous mendacity is because the real reason makes it too clear why Kennedy was assassinated and by whom. Halberstam's book should have been titled The Worst And The Dimmest.
It makes sense that Bannon would cite this book because Trump is doing what Halberstam did - that is, complaining against the Republican's doings while planning to repeat the same offenses...
