Video- Van Susteren airs video of Obama G8 photo shoot to counter "lying picture that's going around the Web"



I'm gobsmacked that she'd go thru the trouble to do the right thing.


Also see here for another video that makes it pretty clear what the President was doing.

Added- Here's the vid that show much more clearly what was going on.

Greta has seen the light? Nah....this must be an aberration.

Of course, it wasn't just "going around the web." Several other Fox News shows had shown the same photo and used it to criticize Obama. This makes Van Susteren showing this all the more surprising.

It may actually be possibly for some people to be fair and balanced, but from what I see on this blog that may be a hard pill to swallow. The left and the right are both guilty of the same bad behavior and every time they point at each other it is nothing more than the pot calling the kettle black. Until both sides are willing to show respect for the other and look for some true compromise we will never get out of this destructive cycle. Point the finger at Fox, but look in the mirror and decide if you are any different. Greta did the right thing this time. Give some credit.

I give credit to Greta in clarifying the situation. Good call on her behalf. She could have easily let sleeping dogs (Hannity, O'Reilly, Fox & Friends) lie about it. I even give her credit in NOT showing the picture and instead directing people to the website to see it.

Unfortunately, that's where rumor runs rampant. Looking at Greta's blog, the general opinion appears to treat it as a "creat-a-caption" situation, which is fine for laughs. But there are some people there calling him a pedophile for this, and others who are dismissing the picture, claiming that it doesn't excuse him for the other things he has done.

For the most part, however, the blog itself is not clarifying anything. It's allowing people to make their own decisions on what they see. Instead of "this picture is not telling the story", the entry simply asks the public their vision of the truth.

Thumbs up to greta, but thumbs down to her blog.

Mostly it's the right who will try to undermind (LIE) each and everything whenEVER they can.
