MSNBC "News Channel" thinks JFK -JUNIOR- was shot in Dallas in 1963.
Edited on Tue Feb-20-07 11:39 AM by dicksteele
(Edit for CREDIT: DUer 'shain from kane' first pointed out
this 'typo', in another thread.)

I just think this is a real comment on the COMPETENCE
and CREDIBILITY of the folks operating one of our nation's
most popular propaganda"NEWS" networks.

Their story on the newly-discovered amateur film of JFK,
taken just before he was assasinated has THIS caption:

2. K&R. You might as well get your news from the National Enquirer
as from these buffoons.

13. All kidding aside, I've heard that the Enquirer is actually MORE trustworthy these days.
Certainly, they still focus on gossip/scandal tripe.

But after getting their asses sued off so many times,
they've actually learned to verify and double-check
stories before they print them.

Unlike many of the paid shills and "official spin"
transcribers infesting the media these days...

3. Probably one of the dumb low paid techies who put up the graphics.
Too young to remember anything about that assination and didn't pay attention in history class!

4. That's low even for them

Who do they let do their graphics? Some fifteen year old intern with no supervision? I suppose it would be even worse if it was a "professional".

5. I'm embarrassed for them. I wonder if Olbermann will slap them over this tonight?
No doubt some Kool-Aid sucking goon without any knowledge of history keyed this in.

I wonder why these things are proof read better. It seems there are lots of mistakes in the text at the bottom of the screen.

8. As far as the shooting, only one new tidbit of info (so far)
It shows that there -WAS- a Secret Service Agent riding
on the rear of the limo when this film was taken, less
than a minute before the assasination.

This will, no doubt, be the subject of much discussion
amongst hardcore 'JFK Assassination buffs'.

23. Does that mean he exited before they made the turn
that was added in last minute? Interesting...

25. Yes, this film really narrows the "window" of his stepping off the car.
Seems like it was MUCH closer to the shooting
than some people have claimed.

26. Do you know anything about Officer Tippett's story?
He was taken off his first assigned duty and sent to Oak Cliff where he was "supposedly" shot by Oswald. Now, there is a pretty good clip between 6th and Elm and Oak Cliff and the odds that Oswald would have run west....through an area that he would likely be seen. The speculation I read was that Tippett resembled JFK and they needed the head shot for photos???

27. That's a new one on me.
I'm not nearly as knowledgable about the various
theories as a lot of folks!

High school newspapers have more credibility.

24. I just watched the movie "Idiocracy"..and laughed...I should have cried!
Even the movie was screwed up. I received a very bad 'copy' from netflix. I launched a complaint but this is too sad. This is from a 'news' feed!
