The tale of the tape (updated)

The Michelle Obama tape that is. (see update below)

A final agreement has been reached between African Press International (API) and Fox News Network (USA) on the dates to air the Michelle Obama tape arising from a discussion Mrs Obama had with the API two weeks ago. The show will take place any day/time from now, with a 15 minutes alert on when it is to take place. Other programmes will be interrupted. This is a precaution taken to avoid interference from any quarter.

What's that curious reference to interference from any quarter? Who would want to interfere with the airing of this tape of Michelle Obama?

Six hours after the release of information by API on the planned broadcast by Fox News Network of the Michelle Obama tape, in accordance with an agreement that has been reached between API and Fox News Network, API was contacted by Obama’s Campaign Manager.

Obama’s campaign manager contacted API by telephone and email offering 3 million US dollars followed with a request to API to cancel the deal with Fox News Network.

Change you can believe in. Lots more info at the links above.

Update: From the comments, a reader claims that the Michelle Obama tape is a hoax.

Now that the deadline given by Korir of API for the airing of the Michelle Obama tape has come and gone, Korir and his group of insiders have disappeared from the sight.

Seems that the author of the original story has a rather questionable record.
