I came across this while googling an email hoax that Bo, Obama's dog, flew on his own private plane. One of the things that turned up on my google search was this whopper from Fox News


Their source for the stories claim that Bo flew on his own private jet was this one line from a Maine newspaper

Ok now, the thing here is that a real news organization doesn't just read something in a newspaper and then go with it assuming it's true. A real news organization would have called the White House to get their side of the story. Also that one line in that Maine newspaper does NOT say that Bo was on a private plane, or as Fox puts it "his own special jet airplane" Fox News should know, and I'm sure they do but they ignore it because it gets in the way of their Obama bashing, is that when the President travels, any President not just Obama, there is NEVER just one plane. There are always other planes for staff and reporters and such. In fact I'm not sure but I think there might even be a backup Air Force

Oh yeah, that claim about Bo flying on his own personal jet? FALSE

Thanks for the humor. I never thought anyone would waste their time googling such nonsense.

btw, your link is bad, and most likely, its a datafeed from another source.
