"Head of NBC UNIVERSAL Jeff Zucker among Hollywood bigwigs behind video...
That's what the Drudge Report says, but NBC Universal gave a statement to Fox News saying their Jeff Zucker was not involved in the creation of the video.
Allison Gollust of NBC told Fox News producer Ron Mitchell in an email "It is a different Jeff Zucker."
The video in question features 22 school-age children wearing identical Obama shirts singing a 3-minute ode to the Democratic presidential candidate.
The performance is part of a "Sing for Change" campaign inspired by an Obama fundraiser and music teacher Kathy Sawada. It was filmed on a Sunday afternoon in Venice, California and late uploaded to the Internet by video editing professionals.
The song was featured on Obama's presidential website in a August 20 post HERE.
