The rumor mill
Sadly, no. But spurred on by social media, that tidbit grew last week from idle speculation to Internet rumor to printable fact. The day of President Barack Obama’s arrival in Oklahoma City, StateImpact Oklahoma (a collaboration of local NPR stations and OETA) posted a story that concluded, “Oklahomans who want to see the president in […]
