When did Mr. Brewer make this statement?
Well, if you had clicked on the link I helpfully provided with the quote, you would know.
And what problem does it cause me? He said he didn’t know which station he was listening to. It may have been KLIF. Or it may have not.
You claimed that “we have
no information that he was listening to KLIF”. This interview is information.
Your implying that because he thought it might have been KLIF, it probably was KLIF.
When did I “imply” that?
No. The burden is on the people who claim Mr. Brewer could not possibly have heard such a broadcast.
What people claimed that?
The bottom line is that there is NO evidence of a radio announcement of Tippit’s death in Dallas prior to Oswald’s arrest.
Because the Dictabelt tapes record two policemen talking about just such a broadcast at 1:26 or 1:27. I don’t think either was hallucinating.
But you do think that Brewer hallucinated two IBM men in his shop. Go figure.
So, it must be assumed that such a broadcast did take place,
They said NBC. It can conclusively be shown that there was no such report by NBC, because the recordings exist.
No. I live in the San Francisco area. I listen on a radio to a CBS station, KCBS. They talk about the national news, the local news and the local weather and traffic. I assume the same is true throughout the country. Each major city would have its own local NBC radio station and not just broadcast the same that is broadcast out of New York. How else are people to find out about their local weather and traffic? Go to a competitor’s station?
If an affiliate station was giving a local report, then it wouldn’t be “NBC News” reporting it, it would be the local station. But that’s moot, because the local NBC radio affiliate at the time was WBAP, and as Jerry already pointed out, they made no such announcement either.
