Washington Post: No plans to report Obama is having an affair with Beyoncé

http://www.poynter.org/latest-news/mediawire/238954/washington-post-no-plans-to-report-obama-is-having-an-affair-with-beyonce/

The paparazzo Pascal Rostain says The Washington Post is planning “une bombe” of a story, Le Figaro’s Lena Lutaud reports: That President Obama is having an affair with Beyoncé. “I can assure you the whole world will be talking about this,” Rostain said on a radio program.

That’s “definitely not true,” Post spokesperson Kris Coratti tells Poynter in an email.

Drug-fueled accusations against Bill Clinton being dredged up.

Now baseless charge against Obama.

Truly disgusting.

after 2012 defeat, the Republicans said they were coming at the Dem agenda with a wall of slime, smears, and opposition.

Pretty much throwing everything including the kitchen sink at slowing Obama's agenda.

It should read "Washington Post: No plans to report on bogus rumor."

The way it's written is totally inflammatory.

well the sane ones anyway. He is squeaky clean in that department. He is devoted to Michelle and his family. Actually so is Beyonce.

they want him to fit into sexually agressive angry black man stereotype and he pretty much shut them off.

Their own hate, prejudice, and GOP congress saying NO, NO, NO is coming back to bite them. The only reasonable person in the room seems to be Obama most days.
