John F. Kennedy reporting
As a young man, Couch worked in television news. While at the Dallas Theological Seminary, Couch filmed stories for WFAA-TV in Dallas. It was there he was assigned to cover President Kennedy’s fateful 1963 visit. Couch was in a media car that was part of the presidential motorcade. He and other reporters heard three shots fired as they proceeded along Houston Street toward the Texas School Book Depository. They looked up in time to see the barrel of a rifle being drawn back into a window in the Depository.[3]
Controversy and criticism
In 2005, Tyndale Theological Seminary founded by Couch was fined $173,000 for issuing 34 degrees as a seminary without a license.[1] In August 2007, the Texas Supreme Court reversed the decisions of the lower courts, ruling in favor of the seminary, thus allowing Tyndale to offer theological degrees.[2]
