Okay guys, I've just discovered something important. On the tweet, I right clicked on "Apr 28" and pressed "Open Link in New Tab". This was the link I found:
twitter.com...#!/megneverlands/status/63659618995408896
I clicked on the tweets before and after that, and I got 63647216052604928 and 63734156852592641 respectively, meaning that these numbers are in sequential order. If we can find out what time 63659618995408896 occurred, we might be able to narrow down the time at when this tweet was posted, and thus, greatly narrow down the search for the FOX News Ticker.edit on 5/7/2011 by SonicInfinity because: Minor spacing error
Agreed! Not knowing much about twitter, can you not just search the #'s around the one that megneverlands posted and see if anyone posted a time or anything of relevance that might give us a narrower time frame?
Sorry had to post this again because you twitterheads didn't let me know yet.

Ahaha, I feel so stupid just figuring this out now, but I rarely use Twitter, so yeah. All you have to do is hover the cursor over the date for a second or two:

10:43 AM. However, I'm not sure if this is PST or Twitter time, so if people can test this out themselves and try to find out for certain, that would be great. Now that we know the time, we can start to narrow the search.

I'm not sure what all the confusion is. Yes, it looks like Fox jumped the gun and released the news early, but as far as I was aware, it was common knowledge that the "alleged" assassination happened up to a week earlier than the announcement. This is what made the timing of the announcement so suspiciuos. Either you would announce it immediately (within a couple of hours), or you would wait until the Monday morning.

I just have one question, can somebody with Twitter account change the date in their phone/PC and tweet something and test if the date on the Twitter page still remains the correct date ? Just wanted to check if Twitter is picking the timestamp from the local machine/phone or at the Twitter server.

Yes, consider this though
The famous pakistani tweeter whom tweeted the "takedown" was on the 30th
see the inconsistancy yet?
