World History 1962-73 - The men
who killed Kennedy
The Men Who Killed Kennedy is a 9-part video documentary
series about the John F. Kennedy assassination by Nigel Turner
that began on 25 October 1988 in the United Kingdom.The ninth
documentary in the series, titled "The Guilty Men", directly
implicating former U. S. President Lyndon B. Johnson.This
created an outcry among Johnson's surviving associates,
Johnson's widow, Lady Bird Johnson, journalist Bill
Moyers, ex-President Jimmy Carter, Jack Valenti
(longtime president of the Motion Picture Association of
America), and the last-living (at the time of the outcry) Warren
Commission commissioner and ex-President Gerald R. Ford, who
lodged complaints of libel with the History Channel.
They subsequently threatened legal
action against Arts & Entertainment Company, owner of
the History Channel. The History Channel issued a
statement saying, in part, "The History Channel
recognizes that 'The Guilty Men' failed to offer viewers
context and perspective, and fell short of the high
standards that the network sets for itself. The History
Channel apologizes to its viewers and to Mrs. Johnson
and her family for airing the show." (Wikipedia)
