CNN president kills birther story
TVNewser reports that CNN President Jon Klein has declared a halt to birther coverage -- a tacit shot at Lou Dobbs.
Klein forwarded Dobbs's producers a memo under this heading, which I suspect won't calm the conspiracists:
Since the show's mission is for Lou to be the explainer and enlightener, he should be sure to cite this during your segment tonite. And then it seems this story is dead - because anyone who still is not convinced doesn't really have a legitimate beef.
Gut check time for Lou. I hope he tells his bosses to blow it out.
As he was approaching, I was going to stop him and give him some support but he looked so bad I decided not to bother him and leave him alone. He was walking in a daze.
It's in the same place as Hillary's law firm billing records were hiding in the 90’s.
Maybe it will suddenly appear somewhere, as did the law firm records?
This refusal to release a simple BC reminds me of John Kerry's 'signed' 180 Form (which we're still waiting on).
In November 2008 the Director of Health for the State of Hawaii said they had his original long form and that she saw it. Yet CNN says it was destroyed in 2001?
Big lies!!!

Jon Klein on Birthers: “It Seems This Story is Dead”
TVNewser has learned CNN/U.S. president Jon Klein sent an email to a handful of “Lou Dobbs Tonight” staffers last night regarding the coverage of the so-called birthers and the validity of Pres. Obama’s birth in the U.S.
In part, Klein writes, “It seems this story is dead- because anyone who still is not convinced doesn’t really have a legitimate beef.” Klein asked CNN researchers to dig into the question of why Obama couldn’t produce the original birth certificate. The researchers contacted the Hawaii Health Dept. and confirmed that paper documents were discarded in 2001 when the department went paperless. That reportedly includes Pres. Obama’s original birth certificate.
"...no longer exists..." or "...never existed..." ?
So true. "Greta" proved that in coming from CNN to FOX.
I hope this just pushes Lou Dobbs all the more. Surely he must have taken notice of all flack he’s gotten. He’s over the target.
Maybe someone should play Klein the soundbite from the Hawaii Dept. of Health in October of last year.
I don’t believe for one minute he had ANYBODY “digging” into this story.
To be fair, record keeping in Kenya is spotty, at best.
1. This will not go away.
2. His whole life history is a Lie.
3. With a lie, the pieces never fit.
4. This will eventually break open.
Maybe Sandy Berger stole it.
We have just announced that there will be no more viewing of CNN in our house.
What about when it was an English colony. The English are noted for being good record keepers.
Legal documents aren’t usually destroyed when a department goes paperless.
They’re scanned, indexed and added to a database.
The records are then sealed and stored in climate-controlled warehouses.
I have find shipping documents for fake dogshit from 20 years ago, because paper documents live forever. The server may crash, but those originals aren’t going nowhere.
The Rose Law Firm records ought to prove that.
Throw in Shep Smith and you got a deal.
Lou Dobbs, first victim of Swift Birther attack!
