Why do JFK assassination forums draw so many nut cases?

   They can't answer...

   Which is why it cracks the case...

Yes, there were a number of errors made by the news media in the immediate hours following JFK's death (see the video below). But even though many mistakes and erroneous reports did make it to the national airwaves on Nov. 22, I still think that overall the radio and television networks did a very good job during the assassination weekend, which is why I placed the following comment at the very end of my video below:

"In creating the video, it was not my intention to cast a negative light on the people who reported the events associated with JFK's tragic murder. On the contrary, I believe the radio and TV reporters did an outstanding job of broadcasting the news coming out of Dallas during that weekend in 1963. And for the most part, they reported it very accurately. But some mistakes and erroneous initial reports were inevitable. And most of these early errors were even corrected on the air later in the weekend. On the whole, I salute and admire the high level of professional (and accurate) journalism that was exhibited by the many people who had the tough and very unexpected duty of reporting these terrible events to the world in November 1963." -- David Von Pein

I also invite you to visit my "Media Errors" webpage (linked below), which includes some discussion about many of the on-the-air mistakes made by the media right after JFK was shot (some of which are downright hilarious):

OMG! It was far worse than I realized. Sorry, but I can't give a passing grade to the news media for their performance that day. They were reporting rumors. IOW, they were guessing.

So many mistakes that were made that day by the media and government officials were the result of abandoning standard tried and true practices.

Unfortunately, there are still CIA officials who apparently don't want all the JFKA files released... It is very possible there are agents out there - active or retired - tasked to keep the issues confused with a flood of "this or that," and "he said, she said," along with a boatload of ad hominems to keep the matter from being rationally discussed and settled...
