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.

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

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.

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