Whether or not it is true, the security of one of the most powerful men in the world, is important, whether you as an American citizen (not specifically you Gary) like him or not...

Funny how one quote from an anonymous India minister can be blown up so large.
well Prudi, told Akhbar that Soon Li told him that Liam told her that Rupert said that Becky Ann heard from Shanequa that it would cost $2000 per day. Somewhere along the lines someone added some additional zeros.

Blogs and headlines don't need fact-checkers. The job, the damage, gets done in an instant.
Fox is good with this and it's something I've complained about on here forever. They know their readers aren't exactly readers, so they put the noise up at the top under misleading headlines. Then whatever facts they'll admit to they run far below the fold. But it doesn't matter because the "reader" only go as far as the head and the first couple of paragraphs. Et voila, the damage is done, mission accomplished.
Haha - I'm sure a few web sites pointing out that the claims are "highly doubtful" and "unproven" will put the story to rest.
You're probably right. The right-wing echo chamber doesn't care about veracity, and they've got the figure installed in enough minds. Mission accomplished, another propaganda victory - nice job.
