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.

The meeting was docketed on the governors website as discussing the Senate Seat successor.

Is there a screen shot of that info?

I wonder if Fitz is suppressing anything in the wire taps? Are we going to be asking where are the tapes again? Shades of 1972 all over again.

“Either the original reporting was sloppy and they didn’t really KNOW whether Obama had met with Blago or they are covering up their previously accurate reports for some reason.”

TWO DIFFERENT REPORTS BY TWO DIFFERENT REPORTERS! EITHER THEY ARE LYING OR THEY DIDN’T HAVE A SOURCE. EITHER WAY THEY ARE A POS OPERATION.

SORRY I’M SHOUTING, DAMMIT!

You can add this “clarification” to your video. Better do a screen capture before the clarification is clarified!

How very 1984 of them. And the left likes to call conservatives Orwellian.

"says no 11/5 Obama-Blagojevich meeting did not occur"

Huh?

A double negative. In other words, the meeting DID occur.(???)

Sneaky little ones, aren’t they?

I’m thinking that tomorrow we hit the KHQ site with questions!
Questions about what ELSE they may have published that they should consider ‘clarifying’ and what exactly is the public to BELIEVE!

The next time a video shows up that's explosive, use the following site to download the Flash file and reupload it somewhere else;

In an age of internet censorship, it's always wise to be redundant and have as many back-up copies as possible.

I think the article was posted on the 8th and it said the meeting DID take place earlier in the week. KHQA’s clarification stated that the removed article referred to a future meeting that was scheduled for the 5th but they had no knowledge that the meeting ever took place. BOLD FACED LIE!!

Hold on folks!!! Actually, they said they had “no knowledge that the meeting ever took place.” They DID NOT say that it didn't take place. The meeting still could have taken place and nothing they said indicates otherwise.

Like how the LAT in October refused to release the video of a dinner with Obama and Ayers because they say they thoroughly covered the story when it happened?

Now we're supposed to believe that we can't believe a story when it was first covered?

.
Why would they print it in the first place then?

Do they regularly make up stories out of whole cloth?

I expect pressure, maybe from like-minded people in the media, telling them - you really shouldn’t be saying that.

POOF - the story is gone when it’s inconvenient. There was a reason it was printed in the first place.

“I wonder if Fitz is suppressing anything in the wire taps? Are we going to be asking where are the tapes again? Shades of 1972 all over again.”

He certainly is suppressing ... three freakin’ weeks worth, to begin with. Gee, just happenstance that’s when 0 resigned his senate seat to put pressure on Blago, Jarrett pulls out as a candidate, lil’ Dick Durbin plays 0 butt boy as 0’s Blago’s goto.

Who the hell know’s what else is omitted!
