The Kennedy Assassination – Beyond Conspiracy (ABC News)

 

Picture: C+     Sound: C+     Extras: D     Main Program: C+

 

 

Simply put, Peter Jennings and ABC News have put together this 90 minutes long escapade to tell us that The Kennedy Assassination in The Kennedy Assassination – Beyond Conspiracy (2003) was really a lone gunman in Lee Harvey Oswald and a digital version of the famous Zapruder Super 8mm film of what happened now has a digital copy that proves “The Magic Bullet Theory” is “magic bullet fact” as some analyst says in one of the tired segments.  If this were the case, why did now Senator Arlen Specter have to make this up to begin with?

 

It is a constantly insulting piece that talks down to the viewer and makes one think The Civil Rights Movement and free thought are all a waste of time.  I have my issues with Jennings to begin with and this confirmed why he is a shaky journalist.  Liberal or not, this is everything from annoying, to insulting, to condescending, to idiotic, to sadly laughable.  The attempt to simply explain away and counteract everything and then say anyone who believes in the conspiracy is just nuts is yellow journalism at its worst that has to be seen to be believed.  What really proves how bad it is are all the questions still ignored, something a short show like this could not possibly cover.

 

The full frame 1.33 X 1 image comes from its NTSC source and is adequate, as is the Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo is simple and basic.  There are no extras and I would skip it in any case, unless you want to build a case for ignorance.  Too bad, because ABC News is usually better than this.
