 Here's an interesting impact of my work: it forced a Philadelphia tv station to alter its work. The station had posted footage of Oswald arriving at Parkland hospital, but I pointed out that it was fake, that it was a reenactment. It included real footage of the ambulance getting there, but, the closeup of the deboarding was fake. I still have this collage that I made at the time showing the fake Jim Leavelle getting out of the ambulance, where he is younger and thinner than the real Leavelle on the right. And I recall that when he got out and stood up, that he had these long, spindly legs, unlike the real Leavelle.

But, the easiest thing to see is the age difference. Look how jowly the real Leavelle was on the right compared to the tightness of the face of the younger man on the left.

 But, after I started bellyaching about it, what the station did was keep the few seconds of real footage at the beginning, showing just the ambulance and no people, which reduced the length of the video to less than 10 seconds. And it's there to this day. So, they make you watch a 30 second commercial just to see less than 10 seconds of real footage of the ambulance. They removed all of the reenactment.

 That was stupid. They should have just removed the whole thing. And maybe they will now, if word gets back to them about this.
