Hugh Aynesworth is Dead: The Grinch is Gone
Jim DiEugenio documents the journalist who transitioned into propagandist.
Excerpt from Kennedys And King:
“Hugh Aynesworth died on December 23rd at age 92 after being in both the hospital and hospice care.
Aynesworth was born in West Virginia and started his newspaper career at the Clarksburg Exponent-Telegram. In the fifties he was employed in Fort Smith, Arkansas as a sports editor and then a managing editor. He then moved to Dallas as a business writer for the Times Herald, and later worked for UPI in Denver. He returned to Dallas in 1960 to write for the Morning News and it was while there that the JFK murder took place. In 1967 he shifted over to Newsweek, from where he began to cover the Jim Garrison inquiry into the JFK case.
To anyone who was really interested in the assassination of President John Kennedy, his death will be unlamented. Because perhaps no other reporter in America—excepting maybe Dan Rather-- did more to cover up the facts in that case, over a longer period of time, than did Hugh Aynesworth.”
