Review of Countdown 1960 - Part 2

Written by James DiEugenio
Incredibly, Wallace uses Judy Exner and Sy Hersh as crucial sources to create a mythology about the election of 1960. Apparently not knowing that Hersh's book and Exner had already been discredited.

How the MSM Blew the JFK Case, Part Two

Written by James DiEugenio
Persisting in our probe into the complicity and participation of the mainstream media (MSM) in the enduring cover-up of the Kennedy assassination, Jim DiEugenio reviews Joseph McBride’s new book Political Truth: The Media and the Assassination of President Kennedy, whose thesis is that “facts, data, and science have become so dubious or malleable in many minds that merely subjective personal belief has been enshrined as the standard for public behavior and the concept of trust in the ideas of others has been discredited.”

How the MSM Blew the JFK Case, Part One

Written by James DiEugenio
As we continue our analysis of the way the mainstream media (MSM) has reacted to Oliver Stone’s new documentary, Jim DiEugenio provides further background by reviewing Jim DeBrosse’s interesting and, in some ways, unique book See No Evil as a coruscating look at an unsightly problem, namely the refusal of the MSM to address the assassination of President Kennedy in any honest way.

Alecia Long Lays an Egg

Written by James DiEugenio
Nearly 55 years after the New Orleans inquiry into the JFK assassination began, yet another character assassination of Jim Garrison has been published, Alecia Long’s Cruising for Conspirators, so Jim DiEugenio diligently documents how the LSU history professor ignores a preponderance of ARRB evidence released in the last 30 years and instead relies upon the outdated and biased Clay Shaw apologia, American Grotesque, to smear Garrison and his investigation.

Cotton Coated Conspiracy, by John Roberts?

Written by James DiEugenio

Into the Storm, by John Newman

Written by James DiEugenio
Jim DiEugenio reviews John Newman’s latest volume on the JFK case, Into the Storm, finding it a bit uneven, but very well done in its analysis of how the CIA switched back their plots to kill Castro onto the Kennedy White House and how the military under Lemnitzer and Lansdale was proposing false flag operations to justify a war with Cuba.

Operation Dragon

Written by James DiEugenio

Collateral Damage: Mark Shaw’s Public Atrocity, Part 2

Written by Donald McGovern
