We make special exceptions when a topic is of value, which we believe this one was.
If you have less than 20 posts and wish to start a thread, just u2u a mod for permission.

I'm not sure we've verified the first?
Who is the second twitterer?

Please point out what fine details were going over again that have already been covered? The topic of this thread is the tweet. Does this video relate to something that will help validate that the tweet is real, show why it has a discrepancy in the timestamp, or provide corroborating evidence to the tweet? As in that this was announced in the media prior to late last Sunday night?

Just watch the video dude and use your intelligence. BTW, Most of what you have just talked about has already been mentioned, I've read every page in this thread!

I watched the video. The guy doesn't have a hard time hearing the questions until he gets a curveball and says, "Hmm?" as in "Come again, I don't understand you." It is interesting. Also, I don't think there's much we can do at this point, so we're going over what we know/don't know. Until we can obtain a video, there's not much else to do.

Her tweet about the ticker fits in, sequentially, with the rest of her posts from that day. This is the main reason I believe her account could not have been hacked to back-date the tweet... to both redate and reorder the tweet with a legitimate tag

My understanding of that is this: It was tweeted on April 28th, and then retweeted that many times.
That original tweet will not show the dates of all of the retweets.

There was also this, guys.
On her twitter, she posted this on May 2nd:
Yep. RT @dantaylorjr Both @jeremyscahill & @megneverlands reported on 4/28 Fox News had a ticker reporting OBL was dead. #binladen
She's saying that this person "jeremyscahill" also saw the ticker and reported it on twitter, but I checked his twitter several times and didn't see it. So either she saw it wrong, made it up, or that guy deleted the tweet (is that possible?).
