Gary King, who has a radio show in New Orleans, recently brought on Professor James Norwood, who is the Chairman of the Oswald Innocence Campaign.
It's a brilliant talk by Dr. Norwood that provides a historical perspective on the use of propaganda in the United States, starting with Woodrow Wilson's propaganda to get the US public enthused about entering World War 1, and this was after he ran for office promising to keep us out of that war.
And, James made a very telling comment about Toni Glover and Walter Cronkite. Toni Glover was the girl on the pedestal, and she said (recently to Dr. Norwood) that neither she nor anyone around her thought the shooting was 3 shots. But, when she heard Walter Cronkite matter-of-factly say it on national television, it rang true to her because of who he was.
Cronkite said it right away, but as James pointed out: how could he possibly know? Since many people who were there either didn't know or thought it was a number greater than 3, how could Cronkite claim to have definitive knowledge about it? He couldn't! They told him to say it, so he did.
Here's the link to Dr. Norwood's talk, and it is very interesting.
