Paul Harvey News Nov 22, 1963 | The Death of JFK

[@RadioDon1]

Please understand: this was 1963. Technology even between Coast was not as sophisticated as we have today. Information coming from Dallas was being delivered in dribs and drabs. I don't see any conspiracy amongst the press to suppress the truth. In my opinion, that would come later buy more sophisticated and more organized means. Also remember that Paul Harvey, along with a lot of the people on the radio that day, we're not reporters. They were either news presenters or commentators. There were just reporting what they were being given at the time. There were wrong reports about a lot of things that day and it was very confusing. That would happen today. If something this bad would happens it would be conflicting reports about what happened and who it happened to. I posted this as a little snapshot of what was happening on that day. The Paul Harvey report that you are hearing came at around 5 p.m. eastern time, long after Harvey's usual noon time broadcast. Taste I just want to give you a little taste of what was going on, and maybe show what I could do with the technology that was given to me to put together a video. Nothing more. Nothing less.

It's such a shame that there was no one who could fill his shoes, the way Paul Harvey presented the news and his commentary were unique. I'm not even sure it is possible someone like that could be on the air today.

[@RadioDon1]

Especially the way radio is set up in 2024. Paul have to be a person who hosted his own THREE HOUR talk show to get that coverage. Not to mention most radio stations have almost eliminated any type of news on their air, unless it was an all news or talk format, and even then the type of things that Paul Harvey did would be relegated to 1 minute at the top of the hour. And not every hour.

[@aJediSith]

Grew up listening to him. I don't know of anyone else who captured my attention, and I was only six when I started listening to him.

[@ARichardP]

We used to listen to Paul Harvey almost every day in the 60 and 70s. My dad had it on the radio at noon back then. I listened to him on my own into the 1980s. He had a unique, rapid-fire, folksy and often humorous delivery and it was mesmerizing to listen to. Almost like the delivery of a Fred Foy, who narrated The Lone Ranger radio show, or later, Peter Thomas on Forensic Files. But I’m not sure that Mr. Harvey was all just greatness or goodness. The way he rapidly juxtaposed serious news stories with ads was shocking. Even my deeply conservative father commented about that. A Catholic priest in high school once said to me that Harvey had an often insincere delivery. I don’t idolize him like I did back then. Harvey made a ton of money off speaking engagements. I heard him speak one time in Iowa. He was a very good and entertaining speaker. He was a lot more decent than a lot of commentators today. And this was a good broadcast. I’m sure we listened to it back in 1963 but I was only 3 and too young to remember. Now it’s 61 years later. Back then Paul Harvey would have been 45 years old. Amazing how much time has passed.

[@nortoncomando3728]

It’s still rough to listen to.

[@bglrj]

I was his chauffeur in 1978 for a day in Kansas City. I watched as he went over his script for that day's program. It was done in four colors and caps and lowercase told him where to put his emphasis. What sounded so spontaneous was actually carefully scripted. And he was intensely focused. Not the friendliest guy in the world. But he had a deadline.

[@poolbob8776]

I remember listening to Paul Harvey with my Grandpa, a farmer, when I was a young boy. He never missed his news broadcast. Grandpa would chuckle at some things, Mr Harvey said. His broadcast would leave you with a contented feeling. Good Day !

[@williamkeck7378]

I'm 76, and remember his broadcasts well. If your granddad liked him as much as I did ... He's very fortunate. If he's no longer with us ... He's hearing "The Rest of the Story" from Paul Harvey himself. God bless them both.

My mother would tune in to Paul Harvey every weekday. I would listen too on occasion. Especially if we were riding in the car.

[@pianopappy]

0:21 Actually, it was Governor Connally's wife, Nellie, who spoke the words, "You can't say that Dallas doesn't love you" to JFK, not Jackie Kennedy. I remember hearing Mrs. Connally recall that in an interview. In that same interview, she also said that the first shot rang out just after she spoke those words.

[@lomgshorts3]

Paul Harvey was not a bigoted, racist leftist reporter of news. Paul described the news of the day as clearly and unbiased as he could when given the information he had to work with. I met Mr. Harvey at the University of Rochester when he gave,a speech there in November of 1975. I never met anyone else with such an honest presence in my whole life. His speech at the University was powerful, but true as he could make it. After his speech, I went to work as an announcer and board operator at WCMF - a classic rock station that carried his reporting and "rest of the story" that so many looked forward to hearing each day. Mr. Harvey still has my total respect and admiration even so long after his death when we lost an honest and caring man.

[@RadioDon1]

Please understand that we all seem to be remembering Paul Harvey based on either our own recollections and our own biases. Was he a conservative? Yes, and he never hid that fact. As a matter of fact his programs were called Paul Harvey News AND Comment. But the fact that I disagreed with him many times does not deter from the fact that he was an amazing broadcaster. Please remember the reason I posted this was not as much to celebrate Paul harvey, but to give you a pretty good idea of what was going on on the radio on that day.

[@theearl1477]

I was 10 years old when President Kennedy was assassinated. In many ways I couldn't understand it, but like Lincoln and McKinley before him I it put it in perspective. The feelings I had were like I lost someone in my family. His responses when answering a reporter's question in his press conferences were magnificent. Listening now to the great Paul Harvey in this video got me a lot closer to reality and what could have been.

[@TheBrooklynbodine]

At 0:35, Paul Harvey said Mrs. Kennedy said "you can't say Dallas doesn't love you". I always understood that Mrs. Connally said that.

Was it harder to get used to President Johnson being the president, given how swiftly the situation occurred?

[@RadioDon1]

I was 8, so I guess it was quicker for me. "Sophistication" had not set in yet.

[@RadioDon1]

Also remember that because JFK was such a beloved president and Johnson basically had to step in literally at the spur of the moment, a lot of people were willing to give LBJ the benefit of the doubt. I think Johnson knew that and he acted accordingly, getting a lot of the things that Kennedy championed passed into law, the Voting Rights Act, for instance.

The first television reports of Kennedy's assassination came from radio reporters, speaking into telephones from Dallas. The pictures came later, mostly stand-ups from Parkland Hospital, and relayed by Dallas TV stations on phone lines to New York. The network stories were filmed on 16mm, flown by jets to New York, then quickly processed in time for that night's newscasts. Paul Harvey, who was usually done for the day in the afternoon, was quickly summoned back to the studios of WLS/Chicago for a quick update, based on available information at that time.

You were then born in Jan. 1961, when he was inaugurated. He was the president for your exact length of time you were alive then, and now or shortly later this month, 63 (Jan. 2024).

Paul Harvey sure had an enormous amount of information considering he gave this analysis less than 6 hours after the event. What is also surprising is how his take on things mirrored to “official” findings 9 months later. How could that be? Well, we all know how that happened don’t we. The faith, the trust that America was better than that, that America stood on the side of right was destroyed in a few seconds and the perpetrators have gotten away with it for over 61 years. And still do. How can that be?

He had access to the news tickers and all the stations were reporting the same so nothing unusual. That afternoon we knew he went to Russia and came back with a Russian wife and his military service among other things.

How can the bullet that went through his back be the same bullet that went through his head

[@bobma6342]

it can't

[@irish89055]

It wasn't...first shot missed, second into his upper back, third.....

[@MarkNelson-tu1rn]

Isn't it amazing how he had so many details on an "unknown" assassin named Lee H. Oswald?

Defectors get files.

“The evidence is piling up against him “. Too many people jumped ahead and assumed.
