Fox News OCR expert states Fox News not trustworthy, Jana Winter report misleading, Jean Claude Tremblay did not authenticate Obama birth certificate
“Why has Obama, since taking the White House, used Justice Department Attorneys, at taxpayer expense, to avoid presenting a legitimate birth certificate and college records?”…Citizen Wells and millions of concerned Americans
“And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed
–if all records told the same tale–then the lie passed into
history and became truth. “Who controls the past,” ran the
Party slogan, “controls the future: who controls the present
controls the past.”…George Orwell, “1984″

“Fox News expert denies he claimed birth certificate legit
Angry at network for refusing to retract its story on Obama document”
“The computer graphics expert Fox News relied upon to claim the birth certificate the White House released April 27 was legitimate insists that the network must retract the story, claiming it deliberately misquoted him and continues to ignore his repeated requests.
Jean Claude Tremblay told WND that that none of his comments would permit the conclusion that the Obama birth certificate is an authentic document.
“I no longer trust Fox News,” he said, expressing anger verging on disdain for the way he feels the network treated him. “Despite my protests, Fox News will not allow me to correct their story.”
The controversy traces to a Web story by Fox News reporter Jana Winter two days after the White House released the birth certificate, titled “Expert: No Doubt Obama’s Birth Certificate is Legit.”
Noting that Obama doubters were claiming the birth certificate was a fake, Winter wrote, “But a leading software expert says there’s no doubt about its authenticity, and he dismisses claims of fraud as flat-out wrong.”
“I never said that,” Tremblay insists. “Winter called me and talked to me for about five minutes on the telephone, and she never said she was going to quote me. Then she misrepresented what I said.”
In a long post on his professional website ProficioGrafic.com in Montreal, Canada, Tremblay said “Ms. Winter has attributed a conclusion to me in the title that I did not mention in the interview.”
He asserted that the way Winter interpreted his comments about the use of OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software in the PDF (Portable Document Format) file of the Obama birth certificate released by the White House “were also not 100 percent accurate.”
In his written comments, Tremblay expressed his consternation.
“First, I never thought that what I saw in the Birth Certificate PDF was a proof of its authenticity,” he wrote. “For me, what I have seen does not prove that it is legit, nor that it is a fake, nor that there has been any tampering whatsoever,” he wrote. “The title of the blog does not represent my conclusion. It would be unprofessional and simplistic within my area of competence to come to a conclusion one way or the other.”
Despite making repeated requests to Fox News to post a correction, including several comments to Winter on Twitter, Fox News has continued to leave its original story posted without any corrections or qualifications.
Winter did not respond to a WND call asking for comment.
“As far as I am concerned, Fox News is not trustworthy,” Tremblay said. “I would not watch Fox News or read the Fox News [website] because they have never replied to me or allowed me to post my corrections to their report of my comments and views.””

On April 30, 2011 I wrote the following:
The article heading is at least misleading or an outright lie.
“Expert: No Doubt Obama’s Birth Certificate Is Legit”
- Jean-Claude Tremblay ia a Adobe-certified expert. He only addressed the issue of document manipulation.
- No mention was made of whether or not Tremblay was a birth certificate expert.
- Tremblay has not been given access to an original birth certificate.
- Tremblay did not say that the document was an authenticate presentation of Obama’s original birth certificate.
Why does the article contain these statements?
“Expert: No Doubt Obama’s Birth Certificate Is Legit”
“But a leading software expert says there’s no doubt about its authenticity, and he dismisses claims of fraud as flat-out wrong.”
A disturbing trend has developed at Fox. Bill O’Reilly misled the American people for several years by stating that he had done research and that Obama was born in Hawaii. We recently got confirmation that he relied on the birth announcements. Now Jana Winter misrepresents what the Adobe software expert has said.
Did Fox make a deal with the devil?
