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."

I include O'Reilly in this. I believe that when O'Reilly had that 2-part pre-election interview with Obama, Obama indicated to Bill that he was refusing to release his real documents just to play with his opponents and get them all wee-weed up over the "Birther" thing. This would make them look bad.
O'Reilly swallowed this story hook, line and sinker. Obama just smiled.
I don’t know. It was the photo I went out to find when I came across the river one. I guess until the next life, we will continue to have corrupt people who try to modify history. All their iniquities will be revealed in time.
It is possible, he will gradually modify his views, but he will always believe he was right - even if his new views are opposite of his old.
I used to like and watch him, but I tired of his creepiness.
I suspect that was not a “beam me up Scotty” event eh.
He's stated the theory that Obama is just playing with his opponents to make them look bad.
The only thing: O'Reilly purports this to be his own theory - not that Obama dropped it on him.
BO looks photoshopped into that photo.
I'm just hoping that Malia Obama doesn't become a discipline problem, because ... you know ...
O’RunnethOver was banished from this house over his non journalistic mistreatment of the Swiftboat Vets. He can buy his way out of most but not the truth.
Yep, those are the ones he admires.

How many typos does it take before they get it right?
Whoa... Do you have a link to some video of that? Good one.
I actually remember after the 2004 Election (I was watching it closely as I was hoping Reid would get thrown out of office), the media was talking about how great Barack Obama was, and how he was NOT eligible to become President, but to look for him to become a powerful political force (to paraphrase).
I remember thinking, “Who cares about this guy?” and “Why should he be special?” I remember my father (Who no longer lived in Nevada) asking about the Reid election, and I said he won and we talked about Barack Obama, and my father said he was notable because he was claimed to be an “Articulate Black man.”
I knew something was awry then, and I see it ever clearer now. I feel certain this is a cover up, and I think you’re right, his Kenyan nativity was supposed to be touted to make him a favored candidate at one point, but then was realized to be a boo boo. It’s notable people talked about adding an ammendment at that time because of Schwartzeneggar, but that never went anywhere, maybe they were hoping to have the fix in before he’d be propelled to “Power.” It’s good evil always opens it’s mouth first, bad that so few have long memories and pay attention.
My first thought: “Looks photoshopped.”
What is that top picture? And do you know who is missing? What is the identity of those whose faces are encircled?
Any link substantiating this would be most helpful!
NPR changes archive regarding president's birth

[Thanks, danamco.]
I will dig. I know it’s only anecdotal, and suspect, but I’ll tell you why I remembered. It was the first election I voted in, and I was glued to the TV. I was pretty annoyed about hearing about this “Obama,” because at the time, it sounded very much like “Osama” and I was only just new to local (state) politics.
I don’t even remember which network it was on, so I’ll have a hard time finding something if they even exist anymore. But I am positive of it, because when I first saw Barack Obama in the Primaries in 2008, I was asking my dad “I thought he was the guy who couldn’t run, wasn’t he?”
Anyway, while my own memory doesn’t serve as “proof” I just wanted people to know what my experience WAS. Whether or not this issue is something that can be “won,” people need to know that they’re NOT crazy, because the proponderance of evidence is, that’s Obama is an Immigrant. Richardson said it, Michelle hinted to it, Obama’s family has said it, and people have reported on it. This is a big coverup, and people are not crazy for recognizing the inconsistencies.
Obama quote: “Whether we like it or not, America is still a superpower”.
Cool, Alicia has the long form! With so many talking heads having seen and touched the real honest to goodness original BC with all the proper signatures, seals and filing dates one would think one of them would place it online to end all this speculation once and for all.
