For my "celebration" of 11-22-18, I happened to watch the 3 hour "Reel America" C-Span presentation of the CBS-Walter Cronkite/Dan Rather documentary on the JFK assassination which aired in June, 1967.
I was amazed at how much "raw meat" was put on TV about the assassination and also the full hour just analyzing and criticizing the Warren Report.
Most useful to me was a 20 minute interview between Walter Cronkite and John J. McCloy. My takeaway from that was that McCloy didn't seem anywhere near as smart as I thought he was.
From McCloy's responses and from his demeanor, he had much more the look of a puppet (for the Rockefellers, German interests, the Warburg family, etc. etc.) than I expected. He was clearly not a first rate intellect. Not nearly as smart (for instance) Rumsfeldt or Cheney.
McCloy struck me as more on the level of G H W Bush. McCloy did not seem to be an even above average communicator. Maybe like General Mattis or General Kelly. Definitely not anywhere near to a Henry Kissinger or even Cronkite or Dan Rather.
What a surprise (and a let down).
The hour spent on J D Tippit and the Tippit witnesses and forensic experts on that subject was excellent.
Also the Jim Garrison interview material was fair and impartial (as much as it could be).
