| The man who hoaxed Manti Te’o has revealed that he is gay and was in love to the college football star during their fake relationship. Ronaiah Tuiasosopo said that he fell ‘deeply, romantically in love’ with the Notre Dame linebacker even though he was playing him for a fool. Tuiasosopo also confirmed that it was him impersonating Te’o’s ‘girlfriend’ Lennay Kekua, even though recordings of their conversations sound high-pitched and feminine.

Bizarre. I will bet that at this instant several people are working on scripts to pitch to producers.
This will make a great docudrama to lure in the Jerry Springer LoFo´s for good ratings.

#2 must have missed the stern staff admonishment on the last Te´o thread. "Who cares" is a no-no comment.
I still find it impossible to believe that a normal, healthy young college athlete wouldn´t make any effort to meet the girl over a three-year "love affair", or send her flowers when she was in the hospital, or a Valentine.

i agree, who cares. but, just in the spirit of correct english the sentence should read, " it was HE who perpetrated the hoax…)."
maybe "journalists" are lazy, as am i (won´t use caps for responses to articles anywhere) but certainly poor/incorrect grammar is everywhere.
isn´t it taught in grammar school anymore? i hear educators making whoppers all the time.

I still think this nonsense is a little too pat. Manti was a Heisman front runner because of this endless "death of girlfriend" hype. I just ain´t buying it. This was a planned stunt designed to give the sports "typists" (I don´t think any of them are "writers")red meat to feed their readers and viewers. It takes a campaign to win a Heisman, and this story has all the earmarks of a Potemkin like story to win that campaign.

Sports seems to have gone into full sob-story mode. It is no longer enough to be a good player. One must have a back story as long as one´s arm, to be explored and played against maudlin music, while some droning Jim Nantz type goes on and on and on.....ad nauseum.
Someone decided Te´o needed to be a modern football hero with a dead girlfriend. He should have said no.

"Let´s face facts: the American media is in an abusive relationship with Obama." So marvelously said Dennis Miller on Fox New´s the O´Reilly Factor in a discussion about the Internal Revenue Service scandal Wednesday (video follows with transcript and absolutely no need for additional commentary): DENNIS MILLER: Nobody in the press is going to bear in on this. Let´s face facts: the American media is in an abusive relationship with Obama. They don´t quite know what to do. If you take the New York Times, you could refer to it as "Fifty Shades of Grey Lady."

On Wednesday, CNN anchor Jake Tapper dug into the controversial way in which members of President Barack Obama’s administration have apparently tried to intimidate whistleblowers in the government and the journalists that would investigate their stories. Tapper said that some, including the New York Times editorial board, have described the administration’s actions as “threatening fundamental freedoms of the press.” He warned Obama’s supporters to remember the precedent his administration is setting when a Republican next occupies the Oval Office. Tapper noted that the scandal surrounding the subpoenaing of Fox News reporter James Rosen’s personal telephone and email

The chief judge of the District’s federal court issued an unusual order Wednesday, apologizing to the public and the media for not making certain court documents widely available online. The gesture of transparency by U.S. District Judge Royce C.

The investigation of Rosen was first reported Monday, after The Washington

The US Attorney for the District of Columbia, Ronald C. Machen – the man responsible for the aggressive surveillance and phone record scrutiny at Fox News – is also a big donor to the Obama Campaigns. At the time of his appointment, the Washington Post wrote a profile on Machen including this tidbit: Over the years, he has donated $4,350 to Obama’s campaigns.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said embattled IRS official Lois Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment rights and will be hauled back to appear before his panel again. The California Republican said Lerner’s Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination was voided when she gave an opening statement this morning denying any wrongdoing and professing pride in her government service. “When I asked her her questions from the very beginning, I did so so she could assert her rights prior to any statement,” Issa told POLITICO. “She chose not to do so — so she waived.”

Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer last week. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” said Dean. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.
