KHQA Clarification

Wednesday, December 10, 2008 at 4:04 p.m.


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.

1. Thank goodness
I got a little worried when I saw this earlier. I know Obama did nothing wrong with regard to his Senate seat, but if it looked like he lied about meeting with Blago that would not look good. I figured he was telling the truth because he would be stupid to lie even if I did not trust him as much as I do, but this made me a little nervous.

2. It's okay, the Birth Certificate Cultists have latched onto this one

The fact that the radio station retracted it is PROOF, you see, that Obama is already dictator of the world.

3. Freepers are (of course) all over it!

Even though, as usual they are five steps behind the rest of the Internet and didn't discover the radio station's "correction" until about 20 posts in.
