I had already said that if the news report was false that this is exactly what they would do... and they did exactly what I said they would do...
And until they did, I was reporting exactly what was reported in the news and that was straight from the news report itself...
So, it worked out exactly like I said it would — as I was explaining to another FReeper that this is how the “news” works...
Something gets reported, if it is false, then other reporters contact sources and ask questions. If they find the error in the original report, they put out another news story and it is *denied* and the source is given.
This is precisely how the news is supposed to work...
Here is where I refer to how the “news” works and how the State of Hawaii would come out with a denial of such a report if it turns out to be false...
A direct statement of fact like that would be immediately repudiated by a state, if the state never did such a thing. You would have FReepers all over the place documenting such false statements and the other news sources would be *hammering* Dobbs, because they’re already looking for something to hammer him on, since he’s been reporting on the birth certificate issue. Dobbs, himself, even makes note of the other “liberals” who are hammering on him. They would *love* to get Dobbs on a untrue statement, because of what he’s reporting on Obama’s birth certificate.
So, that’s the beauty of our system (both with news sources and with Free Republic) is that it would be repudiated in such short order that everyone’s head would be spinning around here... LOL...
As I said, I would love to hear such a repudiation of those facts given in the news report...
