Did you watch the 6 hours?

[–] mtxmind (3296) 2 years ago

I'm currently about half way thru.

Ok, please say if there's something revealing (already) in it.

[–] mtxmind (3296) 2 years ago

Generally, no. But it is an interesting watch just for the stark contrast in the style of the reporting, compared to how something like this would be reported nowadays. Plus I was only 2 months old in November 1963, so I have no memory of this at all. Probably would be less interesting to me if I'd been old enough to remember it as it happened.

This one is a little shorter and also in good quality.

The first hour of WFAA's coverage after Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas

Sounds great. I'll give it a shot as soon as I'm finished with the "Coverage of World War II as it Happened".

Oh, man, I didn't know they had it broken down like that. I've been watching "Coverage of the Twentieth Century as it Happened" and I feel like I'll never get to World War II.

Definitely gonna put that "Twentieth Century" on my list. You should also check out "Coverage of the Middle Ages as they Happened"!

Hell, I'm going for "Coverage of Everything Since The Big Bang as it happened". Just as soon as I've got a spare 13.7 billion years on my hands!!😍😂😀😂
