Aggressive Search For Patty Hearst | Good Night America (May 22nd, 1975)

Jack and Micki Scott are writers and critics of the big time sports establishment. They were also apparently suspected but never formally accused of harboring Patty Hearst in a rented farmhouse last summer. Rather than cooperate with what they thought were the strong-arm methods of the FBI agents who wanted to question them they went underground for five weeks. When they surfaced they almost dared the FBI to arrest them if that agency had anything on them. We also talk with political activist and infamous basketball player Bill Walton, Gerald Lefcourt an activist attorney who defended the Chicago Eight, Black Panthers Abbey Hoffman, and anti-war draft resistors. Widely known activist lawyer and Yale graduate William Kunstler, and syndicated columnist Jeffrey St. John for an opposing view on the FBI’s conduct.

Real reporting if you ask me

At first I was disappointed by this because the Scott's do not share a single anecdote about Patty Hearst, then the most wanted woman in America - and if I feel this way in 20 effin' 22, I can only imagine how disappointed audiences were when the story was still in progress. I think the Scott's could have fed us a few crumbs without fear of legal jeapordy -ie by answering questions about Hearst on a 💯,% "hypothetical" basis. But as the show rolled on, I was fascinated to get this little glimpse into the planet, long before I was on it. The machinations of the media look astoundingly different. Take the FBI agent, so very proud to call himself a male chauvinist! The other guests, openly deriding the FBI and getting applauded for it by the audience! The Scott's themselves - harbouring Hearst, a terrorist fugitive but getting sentenced to appear on this talk show. These days, they'd probably be shipped off somewhere like Guantanamo. I meqn, this almost NEVER happens on mainstream television today. In Australia at least, the media no longer seem to know the meaning of "dissent". They are dull, conservative and almost always obsequious to federal police and government officials. May that 'invisible worm that flies in the night' turn again, within all our lifetime's. Thank you for the upload.

The radical hippie thing was still going in 75. But was disappearing quickly. Could still get the vibe here. Vietnam was over. Bill Walton too, I forgot he looked like that so long ago.
