No, you confused me with another poster who also doubts the AP's veracity.
Your question was "who the H says it was official".
Your question was not "is the AP a reliable source".
What I DID ask was: And you believe the Associated Press?. Which you didn't answer.
Some of you have lost your minds. You are turning comments into troll battles to people who were not trolling the thread. You all need to chill out.
