To be accurate, as I told you before, UPI didn't change anything,

Yes they did change it, once WND made them aware of their error. Furthermore, they didn't just scrub the error. At the very bottom of the story, they acknowledged the error and stated it was the writer's.

I was specifically speaking about the original source. The Queens hospital story, Obama's birthplace came from some where. The most likely source are the Obamas.

Not according to UPI:

"This item was corrected July 8, 2009, to fix the name of the hospital where Obama was born. The original item incorrectly identified the facility as Queen's Hospital, an error made by the writer."

Can you read? What part of "error made by the writer" can't you understand?

If it was an error by the writer, then Obama could not have been the source.

The bottom line here is that the public does not really know to where Obama was born.

Yes we do. Obama and every single member of his family has always maintained he was born at Kapiolani. The fact that exactly one reporter made an error and said it was Queens doesn't change that.

So you withheld that knowledge... misleading the readers by not crediting WND . You gave the impression that UPI on their own recognizance, out of the goodness of their hearts, made the correction on their own.

If it was an error by the writer, then Obama could not have been the original source.

On the contrary again. Someone in the Obama family could have been the source.

And I read and comprehend better than most. You'll notice in my last post to you that I questioned UPI, if they did "a real" investigation on what happened?

An error by the writer? The correction is sufficiently ambiguous that we do not know what type of error? No details. Was the error because UPI believes was an error by their source(s), or was it that UPI just made the crap up? Without seeing the real Obama birth certificate, either one of the listing of Obama's birth hospitals could be an error.

Yes we do. Obama and every single member of his family has always maintained he was born at Kapiolani. The fact that exactly one reporter made an error and said it was Queens doesn't change that.

I don't trust the Obamas telling the truth. It appears that you do - you take their words as truth by swallowing them hook line and sinker.
