Yesterday, in another shameful corporate media humiliation, Judicial Watch announced on its website: New Records Reveal Barack Obama’s Presence at Emergency Scene of Obama Family Chef Drowning.

Last night, Fox News broke the story that former President Barack Obama was, in fact, present at the scene after chef Tafari Campbell drowned on a paddle board — contradicting widespread corporate media reports.

Through FOIA, public records powerhouse Judicial Watch has newly-obtained (and still heavily redacted) Massachusetts Police documents, describing that cops interviewed Obama immediately after the 911 call reporting Tafari’s disappearance. So he was there.

Next, we learned that an unidentified female staffer who was paddleboarding with Tafari saw him “fall off his paddleboard, begin splashing and become extremely panicked, yelling for help and subsequently went underwater very quickly.” According to the police report, the mystery gal jumped into the water to try to help the chef, but he was never seen alive again.

She then “ran to the nearest U.S. Secret Service security post and reported the incident to the first USSS Special Agent she saw.”

The police records also described an alleged Secret Service surveillance video showing Tafari and the female paddleboarding companion entering the water, and showed the Secret Service’s emergency response in the immediate aftermath of Tafari’s drowning.

The video was not produced. But Judicial Watch says it will continue seeking to obtain the footage.

Why did it take so long and so much independent effort to discover that Obama was there? Why didn’t the MEDIA seek these public records? What use is the corporate media these days anyway?

If this keeps up, people might start to get the idea that the corporate media only exists to provide cover for government actors.
