Brian Williams Subjects NBC Viewers to More Kennedy ‘Camelot’ Pictures, Including ‘Incredibly Cute John Jr.’
The 47th anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy was ignored by ABC's World News, and mentioned briefly on CBS Evening News. On the NBC Nightly News, Brian Williams used the occasion to promote the sales of yet another book of Kennedy family photos of the “Camelot” era. Williams just assumes that absolutely everyone is still aglow over the media's relentless promotion of a mythical family, with no apparent flaws or infidelities: For more than one American generation, November 22nd will always be the day President Kennedy was shot. A new book just out is full of the imagery of those years. It's called “Portrait of Camelot,” full of rarely seen family photos by the White House photographer back then, Cecil Stoughton. They include JFK’s Christmas Eve in Palm Beach, making sure the stockings were hung by the chimney with care . The incredibly cute John Jr. on a boat in August of ‘63. Jacqueline Kennedy on a boat off Cape Cod while Caroline naps on a summer day. read more
