The local media couldn't ignore it -- 84,000 people at the football game knew something had happened. Plus on-the-scene witnesses like PhiKapMom giving reports to FR, and thus into the hands of many thousands more. Plus the blogs picking it up and spreading
Now after a week of FR and the blogosphere, the media consensus must be that it cannot be covered up, and continuing to try will be irrefutable proof to even the most sleepy sheep that there is an orchestrated cover-up, with the MSM heavily involved
The MSM cannot afford to have even more people decide they are no longer a reliable source of news
The MSM should just go ahead work it for what they are, reliable source of humor.
If Boren had stayed off the airwaves and email, I wouldn't have been so mad but his statements added up to what I knew spelled Clintonite spin except he was not very good at it contradicting himself sometimes in the same article.
Then when I saw the video of us being padlocked in the stadium for our own safety, I became more disgusted. Who was he to tell us we were safe that night? My bag was cursory checked at Gate 7 along with others -- have seen backpacks in the stadium in the past -- security has not been very tight this year and last year was nothing to brag on but he knew we were safe. Have to be a moron to believe that.
My daughter had a CD player stolen from her car while parked in the parking garage and was told they are not allowed to have surveillance cameras in the parking garage or on campus because of legal concerns but Boren wants us to believe after first saying they were installing surveillance cameras that they are already there when the parking garages have none including the one next to the stadium according to OU PD last spring.
This whole deal smells and I want to know Boren is being such an obvious spinner in all of this. What is behind it? You could say football revenue but that doesn't cut it, I am still going to games along with everyone I know. What we want is the TRUTH! Something that seems lacking on the part of David L. Boren -- what is he hiding?
