I was with my father in Florida, caring for him, we had the tv on. I was doing hospice care, I remember the sadness in his face. Now, Dad was born in 1910, he had terminal cancer and I was spending his last months with him. He had worked with CBS as an audio tech for 30 years. After the sadness, he was furious. Furious that they pushed the entire thing as a media event. He was never conspiracy driven, but he did know the news industry from a special perspective, he did audio with Walter Conkrite, he knew what was edited, he knew what was staged. His take was that it happened because the media push to cover it and make a big hoopla compromised safety.
