I think this following script for Roger's documentary film is probably the best look at what the media did to cover up the true facts of the JFK case for the public in 1967.
Recall, in that horrible summer of media disguise, two programs were produced to stop any public outcry over the WC cover up. One was at NBC where the Sarnoffs allowed Walter Sheridan and the CIA to do a hatchet job on Jim Garrison.
The other was a four night special at CBS where Paley, Stanton, and Salant all combined to reverse a pitch by Gordon Manning and Les Midgley to hold a debate about the WC, presenting both sides equally. Manning and Midgely were both employees of CBS. That is what is important about this. But they wanted to do a fair presentation to present to the public. As one can see here, once that proposal got to Salant, it was short circuited. Not just by him, but by two west coast attorneys,including the Dean of the Stanford Law School, and a secret committee at CBS that was created in the wake of the career of Ed Murrow.
Manning threw in the towel first, and later Midgley did also. Objectivity was now jettisoned. Some of the consultants on the show were John Lattimer, Jerry Hill, and John McCloy. And Salant and CBS lied about the last.
In 1975, when CBS and Dan Rather did it again, Roger Feinman--a CBS employee at the time-- protested to Standards and Practices. When he would not stop, they terminated him. But since he was a union member, he had some rights to discovery. And he smuggled out some bombshell documents which he made his film with. He asked me to take down the film since he wanted to revise it. I did, but he passed away before he could complete the job.
So I present his masterly script, which takes us behind the scenes at CBS where they decided to cover up and lie about the JFK case for their friends in high places. IMO, this is the best work ever on the subject.
