It's amazing that, even in that time when news didn't travel nearly as fast as it does today, it sure seems like it took an awful long time before they realized that President Reagan HAD been shot, yet they were getting other updates quickly. Although I guess that could have just been the WH trying to keep it under wraps until his condition was known so as not to spread panic among the public-especially since JFK had been killed. Refreshing though to hear "good" reporters (& no 'spin')!

@mlc2005 Actually this was just over 2 months after Reagan became POTUS (not 2nd year). I'll never forget that day, even though I was just a kid. My folks were glued to the tv that whole night. Hinkley has filed a motion to be released from the mental facility he's been in ever since he was found "not guilty by reason of insanity". The Secret Svc has been tailing him as he's out on his "free time" & testified that he researches assassinations/attempts of POTUS's-incl his against Reagan-NOT good!

Even though I wasn't crazy about some of his politics, can you even imagine how awful a tragedy it would have been if that motherfucker had killed the President??? This was just his 2nd year in office; no "tear down that wall," no challenger explosion speech. It's scary how easy it almost was for some pathetic nut case to kill our leader. I hope Brinkley NEVER gets out.

@headcase01 Not Brinkley, it's Roger Mudd

Notice at 8:44 that CNN was so new that they spelled it out "Cable News Network" in just plain text not even a logo.

Wow This brings back memories. Main stream media still had a bit of integrity at this time as well. They would actually try and report facts and not blow shit all out of proportion.

Come of think that typerwriter remind me when I practice in high school ROFL back in early 1980s

No matter how you spin the facts, the Hinkley and Bush families knew each other well
