You will not read about this astonishing coverup in any of the major news media. What kind of a "coverup" is it, if you can read about it in the paper? This thing, by contrast, is BIG.
Several days ago, President Bush was giving yet another lengthly speech. Behind him was seated a kid, about 8 to 10 years old. After a while, the kid got bored and started fidgeting, looking at his watch, and doing other funny things, as kids do. Nothing major here.
Letterman then showed a video of this on his show. The next day, CNN showed the video. They said that the video was given to them by Letterman, and that, while it was funny, the Whitehouse told them that it is fake!
Letterman came back and said that, in all seriousness, the video is genuine. Then, CNN showed the video again. Now, they said that, according to the Whitehouse, while the kid was present at the speech, he was not seated behind the President, as the video showed. According to CNN, the Whitehouse now claimed that the video was doctored.
For the second time, Letterman insisted that the video is 100% genuine, and that it has not been altered. He then received a note saying that the Whitehouse did not make any of these statements that CNN said that they made. Letterman didn’t say who the note was from or how he received it. I can only assume that someone in the CBS higher-ups received a phone call. But if the Whitehouse never denied that the video is real, why would CNN say that it did, twice?
Today, Letterman said that he had a source which told him that the Whitehouse did in fact make those statements to CNN.
How weird is this? Come to think of it, this is how all the major scandals begin: people trying to cover up things that would otherwise not even be an issue. |
