1. "As his limo drove by, thousands of NY'ers came out and cheered."

I hadn't heard that newsy tidbit from the American reporters.

Thanks for a view from down under.

:fistbump:

2. Hard to believe Rupert Murdoch came from there

I mean (gasp!), their news media reports actual fact.

3. I once saw a news report by Ten claiming that Hillary Clinton perpetuated birther theories

As i pointed out on DU 2 weeks ago, Ten reporter Natasha Exelby claimed: "Hillary Clinton was one of the first people to raise concerns about this back in 2008 during the primaries before Barack Obama was actually the Democrats' political nominee; he put that to bed by releasing a short-form certificate..." when in fact some anonymous fool who supported Clinton for president circulated email rumors about that. No media is perfect, but American commercial TV news isn't too serious about serious issues at times, we can agree.

4. Actually, that is my ULTIMATE proof of Obama's legitimacy

Hey, if the Clinton Machine checked into the rumor and concluded it was bullshit, you know that Obama's American!
