No surprise there, I mean we all knew LH Oswald was a lifelong Republican, right?

The funny thing was, on the same front page (Nov. 23, 1963), the Times also ran a straight news story which went into Oswald's leftist background.

The news story was headlined ""Leftist Accused -- Figure in a Pro-Castro Group is Charged -- Policeman Slain."

Scotty Reston's opinion piece, next to it, was headlined "Why America Weeps -- Kennedy Victim of Violent Streak He Sought to Curb in the NAtion," and in the piece he got into why the right-wing was to blame.

So there you had an opinion piece which was directly contradicted by the news story -- on the same front page!

This is a fuzzy picture, but you can see the placement of the respective articles.
