ABC News says it will "live-blog the assassination of JFK as it unfolded."

The Canadian Press is "live tweeting" the JFK assassination in real time, and it's kind of disturbing to experience. https://twitter.com/CdnPress

Anyone else find all this "live" tweeting of JFK assassination just a little bit creepy?

@ktumulty More than a little.

@ktumulty  Yes. Can't read or watch. Reduces the assassination to "sound bites; "live tweeting." Feel it's disrespectful.

It's kind of eerie that they are "live tweeting" as if JFK is actually being shot today.

Got to admit - it wierded me out more than a little, seeing these tweets on my feed.

The biggest difference would be 50 years of hindsight, historical revision, and lies.  These are leftists, after all.

I posted about my feelings on the Kennedy brouhaha on another forum. I didn't realize so many others feel like I do.  I switched from Fox to the Movie Channel. Kennedys 24/7 are not only tiring, but boring, with a lot of bs thrown in between.

Apparently our car is a new model TARDIS. Go out for a drive, come back, and my twitter is stuck in 1963.

Yes, it was a significant event. The coverage is a bit excessive.
