28. On May 2nd 2012…
Hours before the official
announcement that
President Barack Obama
had landed in Kabul,
Afghanistan, for a surprise
visit, the media -- both
social and electronic --
were already buzzing with
reports about the trip.
29. “Had he indeed
landed in-country?
Was it just a
rumor? Should it
be reported
anyway?”
32. Joshua Hersh of the
Huffington Post…
@joshuahersh "Is this right?RT
@TOLOnews BREAKING:
United States President Barack
Obama has arrived in Kabul to
meet Afghan president Hamid
Karzai"
33. @USEmbassyKabul
"Reports that
President Obama is
in Kabul are false."
34. That was enough to
send the Twitterverse
and traditional media
buzzing. The New York
Post posted a story on
its website shortly after.
