This is the very first year I've noticed that this past Tuesday, November 22nd, I didn't see even one mention of it being the anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's assassination. Nothing.
Anyone else?

i thought the same thing - thought i just didn't happen to catch it. perhaps we are moving on to memorializing every 5 years now, rather than every year.

The only thing I saw - and I didn't have the TV on much yesterday - was that CNN replayed its series The Sixties last night and one of the hourlong shows was devoted to the assassination. So I saw the whole assassination weekend again, including seeing Oswald shot in the basement of the police station, just as I watch it all unfold in 1963. I can practically replay every minute of that weekend and what I and my family were doing on that Nov. 22nd. Also our newspaper had something about it being the anniv. of JFK's assassination.
I'm thinking that at least The History Channel must have had something, as did probably other cable channels that have done programs on it before - they probably repeated them. But I can't say for certain.

I watched a few shows about the events of the day. I don't remember the channel. Maybe History channel? I don't know, but I watched for a few hours.

Chris Matthews mentioned it on Hardball, he is a big Kennedy fan.

I guess the Kennedy dynasty is just going quietly to go away. I don't think they are in the news. The remaining memebers of the family seem to live quietly. Time marches on

I also noticed it. What was interesting to me is that while the Kennedy family is not in the news too much any longer, a local law firm now has affiliation with RFK, Jr. They have just started the tv ads. This really was what made me notice that nothing was mentioned about JFK.

There were a few things mentioned on Facebook.

There was a brief mention of this on a local radio morning program.

I was watching Reelz channel which had programs about JFK on all night.
