There is an embedded video on this page with a clip from the Fox show,
but a modem connection may not work very well with it.

Sigh. I never said they never ran it, just that I never saw it. Things
that cause a "Huge Stir" tend to...I dunno...CAUSE A HUGE STIR! (For
example, Scooter Libby not remembering who didn't tell him something; THAT
caused an {unjustified} huge stir.)

HTH!

Nothing makes you happy. Not 115 articles in newspapers. Not video. And
when you get wall-to-wall coverage, you then say it's not "justified."
Face it. Your mind is made up and it pointless to show you more links.
It just confuses you.

Your post confused me because it was so misleading. Now that I see who you
are, I won't expect accuracy or fairness; therefore, no more confusion!

Glad we cleared it up

Since you say that you spend so much time watching Fox, it is
understandable that you would get 'fair and balanced' confused with the
real thing.

I didn't say that. You're being inaccurate yet again. (What I wrote is
still above. HTH)

Since you love blogs and media, apparently, read some of the reports on
which cable news network provided the fairest coverage of the primaries.
Hell, ask Terry McAuliffe -- and how he got slammed for saying it. You
might even say it caused a (wait for it) HUGE STIR! LOL

So you have to look for it - people that watch Fox all the time didn't see
it. And you call that a HUGE STIR. Somehow I'm not at all surprised.

Less than one percent of the BIG newspapers carry the article and none of
the locals and you call that a HUGE STIR.

Another huge stir in the making - now it's MUCH-PHOTOGRAPHED!

It only takes one to become mildly famous. I spoke in public once where
an AP reporter was in attendance and photos were taken. I hear I was on
page B-1 through the whole state - above the fold. Years later people
would approach, tell me my name, and want to shake my hand for what I
said that day.

The Obama story came with 5 AP photos. You can see more of them here.

and since you have shown you care, there has been more chatter about it.

One thing I will say for him: He's in synch with the typical
uninformed American "safety" ideas. That is - he's got the oh-so-
important headgear on; but in two of the five photos, he's riding on
the sidewalk, and (unless that's a one-way street) riding opposite the
flow of traffic.

At least one study found that last move was over 13 times as dangerous
as riding properly on the road.

Now if he does another ride with that low rear tire, wrong side of the
road, and no lights at night, he'll have Hillary's beer drinkers all
for him!

Around this town, with the exception of one busy pedestrian street where
bikes are prohibited, and a couple that actually have a reasonable bike
lane, the sidewalk is the place to be. One "bike lane" on a major road
goes from 24" down to about 6" and is hard up against a concrete wall -
not the greatest place to get yourself trapped, since it's also the
inside of a corner. I go off the sidewalk where there are pedestrians
actually using it.
