Retaliation was necessary. Japan dug their own grave.

@BillofRightsBrutus you keep sending me that but i am not gonna look at it. so stop trying.

[BillofRightsBrutus]

@USSWISCONSIN64 It's sort of a free country, so I guess it's sort of your right to know, do, and believe as you see fit. I am simply a person that likes to operate according to facts. I would state that it's a tad unreasonable to be agitated and argumentative about things for which you know only one side. I've lived most of my life believing and wanting to believe the line, so I figure the only thing with anything to lose to objectivity is, of course, the line.

[USSWISCONSIN64]

@BillofRightsBrutus i listen to facts but only on things that i care the most about. what you are saying not that real interesting.

[BillofRightsBrutus]

@USSWISCONSIN64 Stop sending PMs. If living in a country 15 trillion in debt likely headed off to another 2-3 trillion dollar war, while simultaneously boasting monstrous trade deficits, doesn't motivate you to understand the history of American foreign policy and war, I really don't know what to tell you. It's your country too. If you are poor to middle, I'd suggest you get motivated.

Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it....never forget!

[CArchivist]

[xBounty9]

@cockwiper is probably a dishonorabre jap

[BMXrider750]

Seeing it in this quality is actually more chilling and interesting as opposed to seeing president Obama speak on today's format

70 years ago today , my uncle told me he was driving his 1936 plymouth over the washington bridge which connects east providence to providence Rhode Island when he heard Roosevelt speech declaring war against the Japanese on his car radio , god bless them all

[LittleMikey2008]

December 7, 1941. Never forget. Perceived weakness and unpreparedness invite attack - the surest way to peace is to make your enemies fear afraid to mess with you..

[rickjones53]

Was the announcer John Daly, later the host of What's My LIne ?

[altfactor]

@rickjones53 No.

Daly was with CBS.

This clip consists of clips from NBC.

I don't know who was anchoring for NBC in these clips.

Tomorrow is Pearl Harbor Day. I hope we all remember the lives and brave men lost by the cruel and deceiving attack made by the dishonorable Japan on this day. I'd like to thank everyone who has watched this, and President Roosevelt for realizing that after this act of aggression had been committed, it is the right of Americans to retaliate against the Japanese Empire.

At 2:02 is the beginning of NBC's coverage of F.D.R.'s famous address- and declaration of war- to a joint session of Congress, between 12 and 1pm(et) on Monday, December 8th, 1941. Four hours later, an official declaration of war with Japan was passed by the House and Senate...

[altfactor]

Neither NBC (Red or Blue), nor CBS or MBS went with wall-to-wall coverage of the aftermath of Pearl Harbor.

Radio news was still very much in its infancy in 1941; but grew very quickly.

By the time of the D-Day invasion two-and-a-half years later, the networks all were on the air with nonstop news coverage for at least 24 hours after news of the invasion broke.

[observer9670]

@altfactor True. Regular evening network radio programs were broadcast, but since they were all live, all of the hosts said that they may have to break away from the show for "further developments". The networks did go wall-to-wall during D-Day, the death of FDR, VE Day and VJ Day. Those were the last times that broadcast network news went non-stop and commercial-free until JFK's assassination in 1963.

@observer9670 Interesting...by the time Kennedy was shot, we were already well into the television era...
