I have first-hand knowledge of newspaper production from that era, including hours in the backshop.

In 1961, newspapers were still universally using hot type, not offset printing. Technology has changed. There is absolutely no way that lead type could have been switched between composition and printing. You’d have to have many people involved in the complicity, including the linotype operator.

After the switch to offset, with computer-printed type and paste-ups, it would be easy to do such a switch, but not in 1961.

Thank you for your comment.

Recall, I did use the word IMAGINE. Now let us imagine a similar scenario - that took place BEFORE the pages were laid up?

The print-shop simply ‘lost’ the Nordyke announcement?

Been in many of those press rooms , had a friend who was a “stripper”. and an X who was an editor.

No way was it changed in the press room....Maybe taken from micro/ back to readable print...a photoshop think.

I agree, and that’s why it was done recently. The actual Hawaii newspaper from that day showing Nordyke and not Obama will prove it. However, it won’t incriminate him, not will it incriminate Factcheck because neither of them got it themselves. The question is, who was the one that first asked for it? Before the blogger that sent it to Texas Darlin’ got it? Who was that person and why didn’t they expose it when they got it?
