WTH are you talking about?? I went to NBC17, clicked on the front page, clicked on the story, and there it is. I copied and pasted directly from it. Believe it or don't, I don't care, got things to do and people to see. :mrgreen:
Smithfield Police Chief Steve Gillikin talks to the media during an 11am press conference on Tuesday. Gillikin said the reported disappearance of Sirah Davenport from the Brightleaf Flea Market on Sunday was a "hoax." WTSB Photo
Well, if you had went to news 14 when I said to, several hours ago you would have seen the direct quote. They have since updated and changed it. I don't see how Kellbell can said he never said it...anyhow...when you get home,please watch the news conference and come back so I can say told ya so.
Exactly! The press putting quotation marks around a statement is no guarantee that it is an accurate representation of what the person said! (Speaking as one who was frequently misquoted in the press, back in the days when anybody cared what I said.)
This kid made a fast exit from Johnston County. His daycare claims he was there on Friday. On Sunday he was out of the country.
HE DID NOT SAY THAT....for the gazillionth time....he did not say what the media is printing. I have typed that at least 4 times.....
What is it up to now....11 pages of arguing over wether or not hoax was used, properly or improperly? Meant or did not mean? Let it go people. It does not change a thing.
I just listened to the entire video of the press conference. You can hear a reporter use the word "hoax" in asking a question. The Smithfield Police Department repeats the word "hoax" in his response but actually does not say it was a hoax. Goodnight everyone. About time for American Idol and Dancing With The Stars.
