More information on the Brandon Bishop incident. Audio tape received.

Posted: Jun 22nd 2005 By: oklastaff

Oklafan offices received a tape today containing part of the interview that resulted in the alleged attack on Oklafan reporter C. M. Burnham by Brandon Bishop. Below is a transcript of the contents on the tape:

CM - Now that you?re finally here, can I ask you a few questions about the book you released online?

Bishop - In a shoot, please drop the f****** sarcasm, I was late because I had family issues to yake care of. I have a life that rarely allows me to do s*** like this, so quit being an asshole

CM - I?m not being an asshole. I should be though. I?ve been sitting here for 45 minutes, I have
stuff to do as well...

Bishop - Then go f****** do it...

CM - Well I came all this way, you came all this way to do this, let?s just do it...

Bishop - Well shoot...

CM - What kind of person takes his entire life and puts it online for everyone to read?

Bishop - It?s called an autobiography. Maybe as a quasi-writer yourself, you may have heard that term before...

CM - Do you really think people are going to want to read about your life?

Bishop - Do you really think people are going to want to read your s*** web site, and the lame ass stories you write...

CM - I?m sorry, I?m about finished here, I guess this was a wasted trip...

Bishop - Sit your dumb ass down

CM - No I?m done!

At this point, sounds of physical violence can be heard on the tape, including the voices of Mr. Burnham, Mr. Bishop and an as-yet unnamed 3rd party who seems to be trying to restrain Mr. Bishop. None of the dialogue can be clearly made out.

Efforts to contact Mr. Bishop or Mr. Burnham for further comment have proven unsuccessful so far.
