The Internet has provided the world with a place for true freedom of speech and unfortunately a large portion of things on the Internet are fiction.
Some fool on WordPress has labeled an article as, “Did Obama and Blagojevich Meet Nov. 5?” In this article he claims as a result of faulty reporting that Obama had met with Blagojevich shortly before the scandal was released to the pubic and the Illinois Gov. was arrested. He later than added that the news source was in on backing Obama by covering up this article.
Here are the facts:
Obama had not met with Blagojevich at any time and has no connection to this scandal. The news source KHQA had placed a faulty article up stating Obama met with Blagojevich; however, he had not met with him.
The article also has been updated since the clarification has been published and the author although most than likely noticing it, has completely ignored it, just to feed fuel to the ignorant fire.
Listed below is the clarification from KHQA explaining how their article was faulty.
KHQA Clarification
KHQA TV wishes to offer clarification regarding a story that appeared last month on our website ConnectTristates.com. The story, which discussed the appointment of a replacement for President Elect Obama’in the U.S. Senate, became the subject of much discussion on talk radio and on blog sites Wednesday.
The story housed in our website archive was on the morning of November 5, 2008. It suggested that a meeting was scheduled later that day between President Elect Obama and Illinois Governor Blagojevich. KHQA has no knowledge that any meeting ever took place. Governor Blagojevich did appear at a news conference in Chicago on that date.
Additional facts:
- Obama is not Islamic and never has been. Being Islamic is also not a negative thing so believe so is either ignorant or racist.
- Obama is a U.S. citizen. His birth certificate clearly states he was born in Hawaii.
Play This is proud to support our next president and relieve ignorant Americans from the lies that FOX news and other foolish individuals enjoy spreading.
