[edit] John F. Kennedy reporting

As a young man, Couch worked in television news. While at the Dallas Theological Seminary, Couch filmed stories for ABC-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 shots fired. They looked up in time to see the barrel of a rifle being drawn back in to the Texas book depository. [3]

[edit] 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.[4]
