Do you understand what a "Reporter" at a National Network is expected to do?
He was allowed to watch the confusing and traumatic clip only one time.
He didn't take notes.
He then ran several blocks to the news station.
He had to say something to the nation.
At least he was correct in saying that the limo turned onto Elm Street from Houston Street, that both JFK and Connally were hit, that JFK's body may have brushed Jackie's legs!!!, that Jackie climbed onto the trunk of the limo, that the Secret Service man riding on the back bumper pushed her back, and that a Secret Service man in the front seat was holding a telephone as the limo sped away.
However, he made up the bit about Connally's being hit when he was turned towards the TSBD and waving to Oswald, or some-such thing.
