KHQA Clarification (Illinois TV station now says it has "no knowledge" of Obama-Blagojevich meeting)
ConnectTristates.com ^ | December 10, 2008, 4:04 p.m. CST. | KHQA-TV, Quincy, Illinois

Posted on 12/10/2008 2:46:08 PM PST by CedarDave

KHQA TV wishes to offer clarification regarding a story that appeared last month on our website ConnectTristates.com. The story, which discussed the appointment of a replacement for President Elect Obama’in the U.S. Senate, became the subject of much discussion on talk radio and on blog sites Wednesday.

The story housed in our website archive was on the morning of November 5, 2008. It suggested that a meeting was scheduled later that day between President Elect Obama and Illinois Governor Blagojevich. KHQA has no knowledge that any meeting ever took place. Governor Blagojevich did appear at a news conference in Chicago on that date.

Who called and threatened this newspaper?

I wonder if FOX NEWS knows the Axelrod video has been removed and copyrighted by them?

Followed by......

It's good the Obama team decided to unite behind the -Obama not seeing the Gov- story. They can't prove a negative and if they are proven wrong there will be real evidence for ppl to see/hear.

Given the quality of journalism these days, it's possible that the reporter was wrong, and the subsequent report just picked up the error from the first.

LOL! The media including the (now slimy) Wall Street Journal are in mega-spin mode trying to claim Obama is nothing like Blago. Obama is is pure as the driven snow. Ah snow=white - I sound like a racist. Anyway you get the picture.

Obama is a saint and nothing like all the other IL scum. Pathetic. We live in Big Brother media police state.

Systematically, erasing things that implicate them. SCARY indeed.

The office of the pre-president-elect has just release new information.

That day, November 5, did not actually exist. Close examination of the calendar shows that the date skipped from November 4 to November 6, so it is not possible for the PPEOTUS to have met anyone that day.

The PPE has declared this problem to have been solved and everyone is required to find something else to talk about, or we will have the MSM constantly make fun of you for imagining November 5 existed.

The media is scrambling to save Obama, but I think their "He is the greatest person to ever walk the face of the Earth" reporting is what is finally going to bring him down. Now he has the media recanting everything they have ever reported on him.

“Governor Blagojevich did appear at a news conference in Chicago on that date.”

And Barack Obama was in Chicago on that date.

If I’m understanding you, you are saying the clarification doesn’t correctly quote the original November 5 posted article. I didn’t research that article (which is probably also missing).

This is beginning to have as many twists as the birth certificate article.
