Celebrating 40 years of Zapruder Film

Y'know I was alive for 42 days of the Kennedy Administration, so I feel that I have some kind of vested interest in all this Kennedy Assassination hoopla.

I saw on CNN.com that they were planning a program called "The President Has Been Shot". It was about the news reporters who were covering the President Kennedy's Assassination.

Hooo Boy! Now the news is the news. The best way to memorialize the 40th anniversary of this American tragedy is to cover the people who reported it. Sheesh! How low have we sunk? Not by pointing out that somebody thought it was a good idea to kill the leader of the most powerful country. Nope, It is to glorify the reporters.

Now wonder people have lost faith in the media.
