Alex Jones publishes fake interview of President Obama with Charlie Sheen

http://www.examiner.com/x-9341-Manhattan-Headlines-Examiner~y2009m9d8-Alex-Jones-publishes-fake-interview-of-President-Obama-with-Charlie-Sheen

Alex Jones, the controversial talk radio host and operator of conspiracy websites like Infowars.com and Prisonplanet.com, sparked outrage today by publishing an entirely fabricated Q&A interview between President Barack Obama and Two and a Half Men actor Charlie Sheen. For his part, Sheen appears to be a willing participant in this ploy.

Branded as the most explosive information of his career, Jones posted a transcript of the fake conversation on his websites this morning, deliberately misrepresenting it as a 20-minute interview between Obama and Sheen. He later modified the content – after it was presented to the public as being real – to include a disclaimer on the very bottom of the article, which states that this is merely an open letter from Sheen to Obama, and that no such conversation has taken place. One website, AboveTopSecret.com, has since published a cached edition of the original report, which clearly demonstrates how it was initially positioned to viewers.

...
Sheen’s questions mostly pertain to the flawed US investigation of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Other topics do arise, including the documented assertions of FBI Whistleblower Sibel Edmonds, alleged criminal activities of the Bush II administration, and Obama’s own broken campaign promises, to name a few. The article also notes that Sheen supported – and voted for – Obama during the historic 2008 presidential election.

Even with the abovementioned revisions, this report continues to provide misleading information, as it attributes wholly falsified quotes to our President. In addition, its opening summary deceptively positions the conversation as being real; anyone that fails to read the entire document would never know the difference. That said, even though I often disagree with Obama politically – I believe, wholeheartedly – that these actions are completely malicious.

Well to my knowledge, no ones caught em red handed like that before.

Thought some might enjoy the laugh.

please keep this in mind anyone who might think of posting infowars links, thankyou.

Sigh..... I don't know whether the infowars wing-nuts are capable of being embarrassed, but I'm embarrassed for them...

Is Obama so infallible that you honestly have to maliciously fabricate a story? I'm sure that's not the case. Someone has gotten lazy and or fat.

People have been fabricating stories on politicians for over 2000 years

President Obama please kick this fat loser into one of your Eastern European dungeons.

To be fair, infowars does not claim this has taken place yet. Here:

actually skimming through it i dont think it is intended to be taken literally....still why would you waste your time typing up a 20 minute conversation.

oh it gets better than that, compare that to the orginal..

it was apparently cached and saved on that site.
No disclaimer for one and some other changes, in fact apparently it was several hours until a little note appeared right at the bottom of the article saying

"authors note: this didnt happen"

is he trying to be a new kinda..daily show? or something?

Well ive had my laugh anyway.

**magickyleo101** · September 08, 2009, 11:37 PM

If you read the comments, a big portion of these people seem to think this was real (or they just think that it show "balls" to confront the president in a pretend interview). For example:

how does c.s. get to be there? He’s just a hollywood movie star. I don’t know man. Is this article for real?

I think the reason Sheen got to interview Obama is because he is a celebrity, and Obama wasn”t expecting any dificult questions

True , Obama hides from the “Hard” questions!!

Hm indeed, it is true that the disclaimer wasnt added for several hours, but still.

Btw it actaully gets more humorous, theres apparently 2 hours worth of footage going around youtube, of charlie sheen being interviewed about his fictional interveiw..

you know what i think hes maybe eyein up glenn becks job, trying raise his profile for faux news.

I am probably more amused by the fact that someone stalks Alex Jone's work enough to find out when he is factually incorrect ....

well it seems they wanted media attention, looks like all they will get is a finger pointed at them laughing if anything.

**Admiral Piett** · September 08, 2009, 11:39 PM

Hehe, yeah I saw that comment, Celsius.

Okay, I really don't get it. At the top of the page it says he is requesting for an interview, but below it is a fake one. I'm confused.

seems he was bang on eh, if writing some delusional account of a fantasy interview is supposed to be big news

Well you never know...

Perhaps he did have a big announcement but the reptilian super race found out about it and than subjected him to their advanced pagan elitist mind control techiques.

It was about ratings guys.

**danzig** · September 09, 2009, 06:27 AM

Ah so this was the big news thing our Alex Jones fan posted yesterday saying was forthcoming. Gotta say its even more hilarious then some of our wild ideas Jones would come up with, to get caught so openly faking something....priceless. Get wait for the excuses.
