The Assassination was Sloppy and Amateurish

[Royell Storing]

Why was Rather only about 60% correct in his description of what's in the film? Did the bad guys alter 40% of it?

    I have never claimed that, "Rather only about 60% Correct in his description of what's in the film". Rather's original broadcasts the weekend of the assassination are available to see/hear on You Tube. Plus, Rather at 93 yrs old is still alive. If those telecasts were not as Rather remembers them, he could have easily set the record straight.

You make no sense, Storing.

Of course you didn't say, "Rather is only about 60% correct in his description of what's in the film." I said it, and it's the truth.

I've already watched the broadcasts on YouTube. FWIW, they differ.

What are you even talking about?

It's not that those weekend-of-the-assassination telecasts are or are not as Rather remembers them, it's that his depiction in those telecasts of what is in the Zapruder film is only about 60% correct.

D'oh.

   Your sentence currently under discussion was Not a declarative statement. It ended with a ?
   So now you want to inform this Forum what Rather remembers? "Carnac The Magnificent" you ain't.
   You are basing your 60% scoring of the Rather 1963 description of the Zapruder Film vs the Current Zapruder Film that we frequently view today. You really do Not know with certainty that Rather viewed the same/identical Z Film that we view today. You're assuming, and we all know what happens when making an assumption.

Not what he remembers (present tense), Storing, but what he mis-remembered (past tense) timing-wise and sequence-wise, etc, a few hours after viewing it. Whether Rather watched the Zapruder film one time or five times (I'm leaning towards the former), he was able to remember only about 60% of it correctly when he told the nation about it that weekend.

Do you really think the bad guys altered about 40% of the film?

 You still have posted absolutely Nothing to base your 60% figure on. If you're just grabbing that number outta thin air, it carries no weight.

Storing,

I said about 60%.

But you have a good point.

Maybe he was "only" about 20% wrong.

LOL!

 So what are you saying? About 80% accurate? About 90% accurate? Stay away from the numbers. It's obviously not your forte.
