Dan Rather's account from November 25, 1963

Reporter Dan Rather was able to see the Zapruder footage and later narrated the film to CBS national television coverage, claiming that he saw the President's head "went forward with considerable violence." He failed to mention the backward motion made famous in the Oliver Stone movie, JFK. His omission seemed to confirm that the single shooter theory with just Oswald firing from the rear. When the Zapruder film became public, he was forced to apologize saying it was "an honest error."
