Two observations:
First, whilst Global Research has a particular perspective on events, a place in the political spectrum - think of the analysis of authors such as Michael Hudson, Mike Whitney, Michel Chossudovsky - I view the site as primarily performing a publishing or library function. In other words, it will publish certain authors even if it doesn't agree with every word they say.
I approve of that because I loathe the kind of "on-message" nonsense that insists that "you're either with us or against us" on every single thing.
Indeed, several months ago, I put a person with US military intelligence credentials in touch with them, because he had a very interesting story to tell and MSM suddenly weren't returning his calls. Global Research published his story. I won't identify the article here, as it wouldn't be fair to those involved. But I approve of Prof Chossudovsky's actions here.
Secondly, whilst it's important to ensure that the historical record with regard to the Kennedys is absolutely correct, they should be no more immune from criticism than the House of Saxe-Coburg (sorry, Windsor).
