NPR changes archive regarding president's birth

National Public Radio has joined Snopes and UPI among websites that have changed their archives regarding Barack Obama to bring their stories into alignment, in NPR's case eliminating a statement about the "Kenyan-born" senator "since Obama was born in Hawaii."

WND reported recently when the archives of the subsidized broadcast outlet referenced Obama's birthplace as Kenya and called him a "son of Africa."

But the records were altered shortly after the WND story was posted, and NPR ombudsman, Alicia Shepard, has explained, "I would hope they would correct factually inaccurate information since Obama was born in Hawaii."

She explained further. "I have looked into it. Someone writing a summary of a story that aired on NPR incorrectly wrote that the story said Barack Obama was born in Kenya. The story said Obama's father was from Kenya."

However, she declined to explain what documentation or evidence provided the reason for the change.

Blogger Todd Starnes also asked NPR about the issue, and was told the statement was a "typo."

Yep, ignoring this problem is akin to laying down for a steamroller. For years, everyone has been rolling over while we have been taking it and taking.

For goodness sakes, the Founding Fathers were pushed to the limits for a TAX on TEA. It’s not just the taxes, but it was one of the last acts, in a hostile situation. They would have and did, risk jail, murder/war, everything long before we have, it’s just that we don’t know how to take back our freedoms, that God gave us, not the government.

We have seen this happen over and over in the last Century, in Russia, Cuba, El Salvador, Argentina, Korea, Iraq, It NEVER gets better on it’s own. Sad, but inevitable.

Wow. News sources sometimes actually correct their errors. What's the world coming to?./sarcasm

You know I’ve been trying to remember where I used to post before I even started RS.

Hillary Clinton Forum is gone.

That’s where I met HillBuzz and many others.

Larry Sinclair, Citizen Wells, Zach Jones, Cao.

And of course API long time before anyone ever heard of Korir.

I posted Korir articles at HCF long before he ever made his claim about Michelle Obama tape.

So I’m wondering how they’re all doing.

I never fully agreed with any of these bloggers, even though I considered them friends.

I’ve always had to be my own person.

But I do maintain we were right.

Whatever powers we were fighting against to prevent Obama from assuming power.

We lost, but it was a good fight.

I’m hoping I’m hoping I’m hoping …

Most of the rest of our fellow Americans see that now.
