The anniversary of the November 22, 1963 assassination of President Kennedy is soon upon us. Anyone who was alive and old enough at the time remembers that day well. It was very much a time of shock, disbelief and sorrow. In a brief few seconds the United States was placed on a new path in history.
I began thinking about it and wondered how the “news” agencies and media of today would have reacted to the events as they unfolded. The following time lines are a mix of history and fiction. They depict what the assassination of President Kennedy may have been like had it happened today, in the current world of instant communications. It is meant as my commentary on the state of today's media. Any quotes may be verbatum, paraphrased, changed or just complete fiction.
I would say I hope you enjoy this but I am not sure it is something that can be enjoyed.
