By her editor. Not a myth. Confirmed at the Journalist Remember
Symposium. Which you are not allowed to see because you are a WC defender.

Because it appeared in print within minutes of the shooting. Did the WC
even bother calling her to testify? No. Why not? Because they were happy
with her FBI statement which indicated the shots came from the TSBD. NB
the date of her FBI statement.
FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION
Date December 7, 1963
MARY ELIZABETH WOODWARD, 4812 Alcott, employee, Woman's News, "Dallas
Morning News," Dallas, Texas, advised that she, AURELIA ALONZO, MARGARET
BROWN and ANNE DONALDSON, on November 22, 1963 left the office of the
"Dallas Morning NEWS" just about 12:00 noon to observe the Presidential
Motorcade.
They walked to Elm Street and stopped in front of the Texas School Book
Depository building, but were located a short distance down the street
near the second light post. They were standing in this spot when the
Presidential Motorcade came by. She stated she was watching President
and Mrs. KENNEDY closely, and all of her group cheered loudly as they
went by. Just as the President and Mrs. KENNEDY went by, they turned and
waved at them. Just a second or two later, she heard a loud noise. At
this point, it appeared to her that President and Mrs. KENNEDY probably
were about one hundred feet from her. There seemed to be a pause of a
few seconds, and then there were two more loud noises which she suddenly
realized were shots, and she saw President KENNEDY fall over and Mrs.
KENNEDY jumped up and started crawling over the back of the car. She
stated that her first reaction was that the shots had been fired from
above her head and from possibly behind her. Her next reaction was that
the shots might have come from the overpass which was to her right. She
stated, however, because of the loud echo, she could not say where the
shots had come from, other than they had come from above her head. She
stated that she had seen about five or six persons standing on top of
the overpass, and possibly this is why her first reaction was to look at
the top of this overpass. She never at any time saw anything in the
hands of the people on the overpass. She never looked at any time toward
the Texas School Book Depository building, and stated she could not
furnish any information regarding anyone who appeared to be leaving the
area, as there was a lot of confusion and everyone was running around.
She and her friends stayed for a few minutes under a tree on the grounds
of the Texas School Book Depository building, as she thought that she
was going to be sick. After standing under this tree for a few minutes,
they returned to their office. She stated she did not know RUBY or
OSWALD and stated to her knowledge she did not see either RUBY or OSWALD
at the scene of the assassination.

And yet you think the impact of a bullet moved his head forward by 2.3
inches in half a Zapruder frame.

They were asked to resolve that shot after BBN said it passed their

And a sizeable minority said it was not conspiracy, but coincidence.

That doesn't make any sense. What are you trying to say? They only had a
couple of days to vote on it.

No. Because Blakey told them it missed.
