The Vietnam War was the first one to be "televised" on pretty much a daily basis.

While more average US citizens and service members recognized the folly in greater numbers through time because of it.

It was the somewhat more extreme faction of the anti-war crowd that would have been in favor of a revolution of some kind, mainly because Nixon needed to be toppled ASAP without a doubt, they were just the most disruptive when it comes to "whatever it takes."

That's why the old saying was coined, "The revolution will not be televised."
