Sunday on This Week, Byron Pitts continued the Kennedy Assassination revisionism that marked the weekend coverage of the fiftieth anniversary of the tragedy.
The man who killed Kennedy, Lee Harvey Oswald, was a self-avowed communist who had defected to the Soviet Union and sought a personal alliance with Fidel Castro, yet Pitts focuses his attention on segregationists in Texas who had nothing to do with the murder.
Dallas 1963, nowhere in Texas did the jagged edge of segregation cut deeper, anti-Kennedy sentiment spew any stronger.
No reference is made to Oswald's leftist world view, or to his delusions of grandeur. In fact, as if to deepen the deceptive implication that somone other than the Marxist Oswald was responsible, Pitts never even names him as the killer, instead saying that, "questions linger today about Lee Harvey Oswald’s role..."
Pitts turns to his guest, 'fake but accurate' revisionist Dan Rather - who was present during the horrific events in Dallas in 1963 - for further indictment of the city in which the shooting occured.
Says Rather:
Everybody knew, if there was going to be trouble anywhere, it would be in Dallas.
PITTS:
Why?
RATHER:
Because of the history.
Oswald, of course, was not from Dallas, but there's no lie too great or small for the revisionists in the mainstream media.
