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."

OMG you read my mind! My next thought was Hitler did the same things.

Prove that he was born in Hawaii. It isn't that difficult, a COLB that hasn't been photoshopped or otherwise falsified would do. Always remember that one of the first things Obamao did was to issue an executive order sealing all of his records. All of them. before that he spent millions in supressing them. What is he so desperate to hide? Where there is smoke there is fire....

The story said Obama's father was from Kenya.

So NPR's Alicia Shepard is pointing out that Resident Obama is NOT a Natural Born Citizen.

yes

So lets just accept the COLB forgery as his true birth document,
it showed Resident Obama is NOT a Natural Born Citizen.

We should also accept the two newspaper birth annoucements as fact. They also indicated that Resident Obama is NOT a Natural Born Citizen.

Pissy little Chrissie Matthews on yesterday’s show caught himself saying, in assailing pro-Constitution demonstrators’ motives, “They are against this president, the fact that he’s an immigrant...” (then he caught himself and snorted, “Well not actually an immigrant, hummina-hummina-hummina...”). I about blew my diet coke back out my nose it was so funny.

The main point should be: if this poser wants this office, he cannot declare a new era of transparency for everyone except himself.

Before obama was president, the media thought that if they said he was Kenyan-born, that would make him special and generate enthusiasm from all the other Kenyan-born people living here.

It didn't dawn on them that that would disqualify him from the office.

Of course, Constitutional knowledge has never been their strong suit.

I believe that Obama was born in Hawaii, but its just a guess, I don’t know for sure. I have doubts that he is Constitutionally eligible to be President.

This leftie trend of shoving inconvenient information down the memory hole is very troubling. The fact is that some people believe that Obama was born in Kenya. If you reported that, and later discover an error in fact, you issue a correction, you don’t go back and change history.

The real problem here is that the press have made a decision to protect and defend the Obama life story with nothing more than the man’s assertion. They have consistently refused to look into the facts and circumstances of his early life despite many indicators that something is amiss. They are losing their right to call themselves journalists and have become the Adjunct Propaganda Ministry.

The fellow in post #15 is Nikolai Yezhov, once head of the NKVD. Can you tell me who is disappearing in your post #16? I don’t think I’ve seen that one before. It’s a good find.

And by the way.... NPR = National Progressive Radio
