This video footage from the late morning - early afternoon of Nov. 22nd 1963 was taped live from CBS. As is often the case with such events, the initial reports prove to be the most accurate. Included the following:
1) A report of a "few individuals" seen moving around near the underpass of the (Stemmons) bridge;
2) Shots fired from the crowd gathered along the parade route;
3) Some Secret Service agents reporting what sounded to them like "automatic weapons fire";
4) ...coming from the REAR of the chief executive's car;
5) ..."possibly from a GRASSY KNOLL";
6) Officers seen running up this grassy knoll (as was reported later by Mr. Cronkite) with guns drawn;
7) ..."suggesting that this is where the shots came from".
Notice also in these initial broadcasts that the rifle recovered from the sixth floor of the TSBD was first and numerous times reported to be a MAUSER bolt action rifle (in 7.65mm Mauser caliber).
Notice also how the story changes over time from "shots heard coming from the grassy knoll" to "3 shots being fired from behind the Presidents motorcade", to the switching of the weapon recovered from the TSBD into a Mannlicher-Carcano rifle, in 6.5 mm Carcano.
Notice also in several frames of this time in Mr. Cronkite's office, is a strange man in a suit and dark sunglasses standing around the perimeter against the walls. Nobody speaks to him and afterwards, nobody knew who he was or how he had gotten into the broadcast room.
This footage positively demonstrates the official coverup that took place literally within hours of the shooting.
One thing that was missing from Mr. Cronkite's initial report, was the fact that Jackie had said: "Oh no, they've shot Jack!"... THEY'VE...

I agree with you. My Sister and I were outside at recess, after lunch, at a Catholic grade school, when several nuns came out. One of them announced that President Kennedy had been shot, ( not officially pronounce dead yet).... and we were to come inside and all pray for him at Mass. Sometime during Mass the Priest told us Kennedy had died, and we were sent home when Mass ended. I was 9 years old, my Sister was 11. Got home, TV was on, Mama & an older Sister were crying and couldn't speak! For what seemed like months, you could feel the nation mourning, and things in this Country were never quite the same.... like an unspoken, collective depression had set in, like some kind of an INNOCENCE had been lost forever!

To see Walter Cronkite being so stoic and unflappable throughout the broadcast is amazing. Even when Kennedy’s death is first reported he maintains his composure. You can tell that he was holding out hope that the reports were wrong. It wasn’t real for him until the official report came in. Watch at 58:35 to see a mountain of a reporter crumble inside and struggle to maintain his professional deportment. Brings me to tears every time to think how hard his heart was breaking and still he carried on. Truly an amazing man and giant of a newsman.

I too was in first grade. But faces (my teacher, my mom when I got home) are all pretty hard to see after so many years. Our school didn't have a PA or intercom system, so our principal went to each classroom, telling each teacher. Mrs. Smith, our teacher, told us. I don't remember how she looked, though, or what exact words she used in telling us. But I know that she then told us to put our heads down on our desks and say a prayer for the president, and she turned out the classroom lights. After a minute or so, she turned them back on, and we were told that we'd now be going home. But on the East Coast, where I live, it was almost time to go home anyway, I think. When I got home, I found that my mother hadn't heard the news; she had turned the TV volume all the way down when a friend dropped in for coffee, something she always did when there was company in the kitchen. I told them, mom and her friend; they just smiled; they didn't believe me. My mother thought that one of the older kids had once again told one of the little kids (me) a "tall tale", to see if I'd believe it. No, I said, it was the teacher who told us; it was Mrs. Smith. They suddenly realized ... and went into the living room, and mom turned the TV volume back up, and there it all was.

A bit of interesting trivia - the reason it took so long for them to switch to a live camera in the newsroom instead of just the CBS bulletin screen was because the old studio cameras would literally take about an hour to warm up. Because of this, after the assassination they started keeping at least one camera warmed up and ready for use regardless at all times.
@NYCentralSpotter1070
@NYCentralSpotter1070 8 лет назад
They didn't leave the cameras on because a) they took a shitload of electricity just to power up, and b) vacuum tubes get so hot that they have a relatively short lifespan. If you kept your cameras on all the time, you'd be spending half your time just replacing the goddamn tubes.

It is extremely common for sound engineers to keep their equipment on all the time. I guess this practice had not been deemed wise in 1963. But I imagine that they learned their lesson. By the time I did audio work, it was common practice to keep the tubes (later the electronics) warm and ready for operation.
@kingbee1500
@kingbee1500 7 лет назад
Eric: the camera lens pick-up tubes that initially convert the visual scene into an electronic signal. In this day of 1963, they were of the image orthicon tube family. or "Immy" in engineers' slang. (This nickname was the root of the feminized "Emmy Award" statue name.) The cameras were far less stable and much less reliable then than now...it took about 15-20 minutes of setup and circuit heating to stabilize the video output. Today, a Sony or Ikegami studio camera sets up completely in 2-3 minutes from cold start.

The assassination of John F. Kennedy, changed our world forever. After his brother, Bobby Kennedy, was also killed in this manner, it changed once more. Each negative event seemed to continue the downward spiral. The whole atmosphere of living changed. It may be the times, the Vietnam “war”, and down the line, Nixon and Watergate. We realized America wasn’t perfect, and our bubbles were burst. 🙏♥️✌️🕊

The needless deaths of Robert and MLK in 1968 with the subsequent election of Nixon that year REALLY killed the hopes and dreams of the '60's, along with the Vietnam war dragging on with no apparent conclusion on the horizon. JFK's death killed the innocence that blossomed in the previous decade once and for all, but the chaotic events of 1968 killed all hope for a kinder, more gentle, less selfish society.

She came back in tears and took the class to to the assembly hall with the school's other classes. We were told the President was shot and we should all pray for him and his family. Then we were dismissed when our parents came to pick us up. On the way home I remember how deserted the streets were and saw many people in tears.

Buffalo Horn, to people like your grandmother back then between 1941 and 1975 it must have seemed like the world was coming to an end. The attack on Pearl Harbor, World War 2 , President Franklin Roosevelt dying from a stroke in office, the atomic bombs being dropped on Japan, The Korean War, The assassination of President Kennedy, The Vietnam War, The assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr and Presidential Candidate Robert Kennedy, the fall of Saigon, the resignation of President Nixon the assassination attempt on President Ford, the US Embassy in Iran taken hostage, the assassination attempt on President Reagan and the wars which have followed along with 9/11/2001. I was born in 1970 but have seen lots of these events in the past 49 years.

They took some heat for not saving him, because the extent of his injuries was not announced until after the autopsy.

Absolutely correct. However, conspiracy believers treat all the false information that initially came out as suppressed truth. For example, when the Carcano was found, Dallas PD thought it was a Mauser, so that's what initially went out over the air. The rifle was then identified positively later as a Carcano, but since there was initial confusion, they say they made up the fact that a Carcano was found.

Five years old here, a kindergartener at Trinity School in New Rochelle, NY- as best as I can remember, school let out early that day and I decided to walk home instead of waiting for my mom to pick me up; three weeks prior, I walked home after a Halloween party, as we were let out early that day, as well. Something felt different as I walked home: the streets were pretty deserted and it was very quiet- what's going on???

@@alsmith7382 The "Right Wing" had anti-JFK editorials in the newspapers. There were JFK Wanted For Treason posters up all over Dallas. Assuming RWNJs were responsible was an educated guess. Walter was among many broadcasters voicing this assumption while being clear they didn't really know. Also, JFK got letters from supporters warning him away in view of Stevenson's reception. One woman said the RWNJs had declared they hadn't even got started, and specifically mentioned McKinley.

I agree, with a couple exceptions. Whether it was Cronkite or CBS, the issue of “right-wing extremists” possibly being to blame held no water, and in fact a far-left Communist activist extremist was the gunman. Additionally, CBS checked in on the thoughts of Truman (a Democrat) and didn’t mention the most recent former president, Eisenhower (a Republican). Maybe it was s coincidence? Maybe not.

I am 68 years old, but I can still remember seeing my blessed mother, crying. on her knees, in front our television.

Some of the television reporters in the 1950s and early '60s also had careers in newspaper journalism, such as Walter Cronkite, who wrote for for United Press International (UPI) before he was hired by CBS. I think David Brinkley had also worked as a reporter for a Wilmington, North Carolina newspaper before he, too, was a reporter for UPI prior to his employment at NBC. In fact, I also recall having heard or read at the time Frank Reynolds had become ABC's evening news anchor (1968-70, sole, and 1980-83, as Washington, D.C.-based anchor for trio of "World News Tonight" co-anchors including Peter Jennings in London and Max Robinson in Chicago) that Reynolds was the first of the major network anchors whose news career had been exclusively in TV, no previous radio or newspaper journalism background.

Sure brings back terrible memories even for me as a child then. They sent us home from school immediately when Kennedy was shot. We only lived 10 mins from grade school I think I was in 3rd grade. Sent us home, and we watched TV non stop of this coverage. Of course I wasn’t watching this soap opera, and not sure still if my mom was, but we walked into the house and Mom was surprised we were home, she asked why, and we said they sent us all home cuz the President was shot! Mom was shocked, turned on our b&w TV and watched the news. consistently, and my older sister was watching the exact moment when Oswald was shot on live TV. I was in the other room and she screamed out someone just shot Oswald! And we all came running in to watch the events. I was 7, my sister was 11 at the time. My brother was 4.
