Why Did Dan Rather Lie About JFK's Assassination? by Roger Stone

CBS has was right to keep their distance from Rather, the affective media figure responsible for the most counterfactual news report in the hours after the Kennedy assassination. Rather, at the time a green newscaster who worked at a Texas television station, earned his stripes with the Kennedy assassination but did so at the price of the truth.

Rather, and Rather alone, is responsible for the intentional misinterpretation of the Zapruder film. ..... CLICK THIS LINK FOR THE REST OF THE STORY AT http://stonezone.com/article.php?id=581
