I watched the Clooney programme over the weekend. Apart from a couple of references to "Oswald's bullets" it was ok. It was concentrated on the process of what went on in the CBS newsroom and the role of Merriman Smith in getting the news out. They didn't mention that Smith pulled the phone out of the dash so that no one else could use it!
The only thing I picked up which I wasn't sure about was that it said it was Secret Service who wanted Johnson aboard AF1 before Kilduff announced JFK's death. It's my recollection that this was LBJ's wishes.
