Murdoch & Mockingbird And The 2nd Assassination

[Albert Doyle]

Here's a good example of a cartoonish attempt to revise history and smooth the corners on the real facts in order to root the official version in the public's mind. Murdoch owns the National Geographic Channel:

There's some wicked psy-ops content that Pat Speer missed in this Murdoch production. If you pay close attention there are deliberate lines like where Ruth Paine says "Be careful, that is my own private property", or Oswald attacking the FBI and saying they were the ones who cost him his jobs and accosted his wife. If you pay careful attention this is done in such a way that makes it look like the only people who say things like this are the guilty who are only doing it for dishonest purposes and the poor victimized FBI has a right to ignore their protests. People like Kennedy-killing commie Lee Harvey Oswald. Some of the worst offenses in this propaganda piece are its subtle reinforcement of a Homeland Security standard. There's also a line that says "FBI is only here to protect people".

I watched the movie simply because of my interest in the subject matter. But, I had low expectations and those expectations may have needed to be a little lower. I wonder how close the movie was to the book, but I don't think I am going to read it. As for me, I have seen Executive Action more than once, and to me it is still an interesting move. I believe it was made in '72 or '73, less than 10 years after the JFK assassination.
