My comment there was...show me where official sources ever said they watched it live.
Yes, it does seem that the "news" media and consequently it's readers made a lot of assumptions about this and unfortunately now it's burned into a good chunk of the collective consciousness.
Just another small, if relatively insignificant, example of how this happens. But pile enough of these relatively insignificant false "facts" and we all know the results...confusion, decisions and support based on false assumptions, killing people, and wars.edit on 5/5/2011 by ~Lucidity because: fixed typo

edit: I find this all very suspicious. Just like 9/11 , I just can't help but think that the government is once again lying to the world and most importantly to the citizens. Like a mother lying to a child. I just don't want to make wild accusations such as Osama been dead for 10 years now or Osama is still alive. Because only the higher ups really know what happened.edit on 5-5-2011 by fordrew because: (no reason given)

Q In the Situation Room yesterday, could you describe how you were monitoring the goings-on? It’s been described as a very tense -- understandably, a very tense scene. Were you watching the operation? Were you -- were you listening to it? How were you getting your information? MR. BRENNAN: The principals convened yesterday around midday. There were others who -- we were here early yesterday morning. The President joined us then early afternoon before the operation got underway. When the operation did get underway, then the President rejoined the group, and we were able to monitor in a real-time basis the progress of the operation from its commencement to its time on target to the extraction of the remains and to then the egress off of the target. It was probably one of the most anxiety-filled periods of time, I think, in the lives of the people who were assembled here yesterday. The minutes passed like days. And the President was very concerned about the security of our personnel. That was what was on his mind throughout. And we wanted to make sure that we were able to get through this and accomplish the mission. But it was clearly very tense, a lot of people holding their breath. And there was a fair degree of silence as it progressed, as we would get the updates. And when we finally were informed that those individuals who were able to go in that compound and found the individual that they believe was bin Laden, there was a tremendous sigh of relief that what we believed and who we believed was in that compound actually was in that compound and was found. And the President was relieved once we had our people and those remains off target. Q Was it -- was there a visual, or was it just radio reports or phone reports you were getting? MR. BRENNAN: We were able to monitor the situation in real time and were able to have regular updates and to ensure that we had real-time visibility into the progress of the operation. I'm not going to go into details about what type of visuals we had or what type of feeds that were there, but it was -- it gave us the ability to actually track it on an ongoing basis.

Can someone show me where the administration reported that they had watched this live? Who lied exactly? These rags or the administration?
This blog sites the SUN, the Daily Mail and the telegraph (Where's the WND link?) Anyway, anyone in that room say they were watching a live feed or is that just what these 'sources' assumed and reported? Or are blogs and rags the only source of this "lie"?
Can someone clear this up? Does anyone want the truth? Or is this just another "let's make up our own lies about our oppressors" thread?
SHOW ME THE LIE. Thanks.
