I really don't even see that as being a huge news story any more, unless you are Oliver Stone... Dead is still dead - and kennedy is very much dead... what really happened? I'm pretty old and it was just before my time.

You're kidding, right?
You don't think that if it was proven Oswald didn't assassinate Kennedy, it wouldn't be news?!
Maybe that's "what's wrong with America" then. A lack of a sense of political context, of the defining moments in history etc. Personally I don't think people are as disinterested as you and Ustwo believe.
Believing that the media sets the agenda entirely on its own, and directs public discourse and awareness, is a bit too
1984 for me.
