    They're not fake; they weren't watching live footage. And as far as I know the white house never claimed the footage to be live.

    BULLSH!T

    The White House released these pictures and stated that the president and his entourage watched the killing LIVE.

    Stop trying to move the goalposts, buddy. You're not gasbagging your way out of this one:

    Sky News said it was live. The photos still aren't fake and footage was still being watched.

    "Mr Brennan said he would not reveal details "about what types of visuals we had or what type of feeds that were there but it was - it gave us the ability to actually track it on an ongoing basis"."

    From your article. Provide quoted source that states that president "watched the killing LIVE".

    Oh boy! Now you're really reaching. The White House TOLD the news media that they were watching the killing LIVE.

    If a newspaper reports something erroneous they immediately correct the error next day in an announcement.

    (1) Did the press issue a retraction stating that in fact they were not live but a rerun? No. And you want to know why? Because the news media didn't make a mistake. The White House said they were live.

    (2) Did the White House contact the media and correct them for falsely reporting that the pictures were of staff watching reruns and not a live feed? No. Why? Because they're fcuked! They can't say now "Oh, folks, those pictures are of us watching a rerun, not live as you reported." because the media will say "but you told us they were live!"

    Damning indeed.

    That's not true.

    I happened to watch all of that briefing (Jack Brennan?) as it went out live and he was at great pains not to divulge whether or not there was a visual feed.

    All he would say was that the president could monitor events in real time.

    He would not be drawn on whether the feed comprised visuals or audio only.

    If a newspaper reports something erroneous they immediately correct the error next day in an announcement.

    Or

    If a newspaper reports something erroneous they print a small paragraph of a retraction buried inside the newspaper at the bottom of some column, several weeks later.

    Nope, that did not happen, as was posted above, they went to great lenghts to not say they watched it live, they could monitor the situation in real time - a textbook politicians answer, anything beyond texting would fill that description.

    Also the photo are usually described as the White House staff watching the operation that killed OBL.

    You edit your post after people have replied and yet you still haven't shown a quote which says they watched it live!

    To use your words "BULLSH1T" and "You're not gasbagging your way out of this one"

    Just provide a quote from the White House jackiebaron, and your theory will be verified. Easy.

    Why do you believe the bull****ters in the White House PR department but you don't believe Steve R. Pieczenik the spymaster who worked in 5 administrations when he says the pictures are a complete hoax?

    What do you mean by hoax; they're not in the white house, the peopel in it are photoshopped?

    So you d'ont believe the photos that you have seen of the White House staff because they come from the corrupt White House... but you believe the SPYMASTER who worked for the same White House for decades?

    BTW. Spymaster - coolest job title ever.

    I don't have to provide a quote...the White House PR department's silence is proof enough. At this point in time they're probably frantically trying to dream up another story to get out of this fcukup and aren't answering the phones.
    Use your intelligence and logic.....if the White House never said that they were live then the press would have issued a statement saying they got it completely wrong but the press know what they heard and now they are waiting for the White House's next move. Think about it (very slowly for some of you). You don't need quotes to deduce what has happened here.

    If the White House told it like the way many of you think, it would have gone something like this on Tuesday when the images were released:

    PR Guy: "OK press people here are some photos for you. These are photos taken last sunday of the president and his entourage watching footage of the killing of Bin Laden."

    Press Guy: "Are these shot of the president actually watching the operation LIVE??"

    PR Guy: "No. These shots are of the president watching footage from the mission at a later stage"

    Press Guy: "OK, thanks"

    Now WHAT fcuking journalist or reporter would get that so wrong and print in SKY that the were in fact watching "live" footage???

    And if such a cretin does exist (and is demoted to the mail room by now) why hasn't SKY issued a retraction?


    Here's how it really panned out:



    PR Guy: "OK press people here are some photos for you. These are photos taken last sunday of the president and his entourage watching footage of the killing of Bin Laden."

    Press Guy: "Are these shot of the president actually watching the operation LIVE??"

    PR Guy: "Sure are!"


    It then comes to light that they couldn't have been watching live

    PR Guy: "eehhhh...emm....wtf do I do now....Mom!!!"

    Press Guy: "I can wait all day for an explanation!"

    I don't believe their PR department or their Press secretary.

    You have a very high opinion of the press.

    You dont need a quote to deduce what happened, you need a quote to know what happened.

    There are only two scenarios, fontanalis. Try to just analyse the situation for a second.

    Situation 1
    The White House PR stated that the photos weren't live.

    Situation 2
    The White House PR stated that the photos WERE live.

    Are you with me so far? If Sitaution 1 were the case (as you believe) then why would SKY say that the WERE watching live?

    I admit, cn, that I can't say I know what happened but it's the most obvious scenario.
