| Osama
bin Laden did not meet with the CIA at the hospital in Dubai! |
| Between
his distorted perceptions, imperfect memory, & questionable
sources, you just can't believe anything Alex Jones says. To make matters worse, he mixes real news stories with editorials, right-wing disinformation, & unconfirmed stories. The story about Osama bin Laden taking over the hospital at Dubai is one of the last--an unconfirmed story that is almost certainly false. Alex has said that the story is "confirmed," but it was never confirmed. I don't believe Alex knows that the word "confirmed" has a very specific meaning in journalism. I believe that, to a journalist, "confirmed" means the facts have been validated through a second source. I think Alex just likes the sound of "confirmed," without knowing its technical meaning for journalists. When Alex Jones says "confirmed," he means he's decided it's true. The Dubai thing is obviously a fabrication. The story has NOT been confirmed. Hospital officials have called it absurd. & it always sounded like a bad movie script anyway. |
