Different era in how Americans ""consumed"" news.
Final paragraph reminds me of the USS Pueblo captives, who (according to a network movie) shot the bird at the camera every time the N Koreans wanted a picture.
N Koreans couldn't understand why the US media wasn't showing that the captives were still alive.
