Today I discovered the JFK Facts website, located at http://www.jfkfacts.org
On the site's "About" page, we learn that:
The moderator is Jefferson Morley, former Washington Post reporter and author of Our Man in Mexico; Winston Scott and the Hidden History of the CIA.
The webmaster is Rex Bradford, creator of MaryFerrell.org, the most comprehensive Web site of government records on the assassination of JFK, Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King.
When we visit the site's "Worst JFK Websites" page, we see the following (make note of the third listing, which I've highlighted):
Misinformation and disinformation are too common in the JFK story, as these Web sites show.
Conspiracy Theories and Misinformation: In 2009, this ill-advised U.S. State Department Web page sought to discredit intelligent public discussion of JFK's assassination with a single blog post. It was so lame the State Department shut it down. (NOT CREDIBLE).
History.com: "This Day in History: Nov. 22, 1963:" Superficial treatment ignores much of the historical record, including eyewitness evidence, crime scene photography, and official investigations in service of a misleading view of the case. (ONE-SIDED)
Assassination Science: This misnamed site promotes the views of University of Minnesota professor James Fetzer who promotes conspiracy theories on a number of public events. (NOT CREDIBLE)
Bugliosi on JFK: The former prosecutor and author Vincent Bugliosi made the case for the official JFK story for the Discovery Channel while dismissing all evidence that complicates the case (ONE-SIDED)
JFK Murder Solved: James Files, an Illinois prison inmate has confessed to killing JFK. But an uncorroborated story from man serving a life sentence for attempting to kill two policemen is (NOT CREDIBLE).
Illuminati News: No, the Federal Reserve did not kill President Kennedy. (NOT CREDIBLE)
It is both tragic and reassuring to learn that Fetzer's junk science is recognized as such beyond the confines of DPF by other important, high-profile members of the JFK research community, including Messrs. Morley and Bradford.
They describe the sites above as sources of "disinformation" and "misinformation."
DISCLAIMER: I have not spoken to Morley or Bradford regarding this issue; the interpretation of their descriptions of Fetzer's site is mine alone.
