Not. http://www.poynter.org/latest-news/top-stories/129708/factchecking-obama-birther-controversy-was-3-4-of-newshole-economy-was-39/ Today, the President said:
Umm. No, Mr. President, not even close: ![]() In fact, looking at who covered what, here's the results:
Nice to know that Fox has the President's back. |

Yes, thank God for Fox News! They may yet turn every liberal minded head to the right, where it belongs! |

I suspect the pew study covers news shows only, not all the talking head crap that makes up the majority of cable these days. So I think your method and conclusion are flawed. |

He chose a wrong word by using "dominant". But even though the economy is at the forefront of discussions, just the mere citing of the "birther" issue on news shows is an attention grabber. I believe he held onto the long form certificate on purpose. Just to show America how fvcking stupid some people on the other side really are. Now America knows just how low that other side can go. Swiftboat, etc. , they will say or do anything to leverage their power. pathetic. Just get used to another four years of Obama. The Right is wrong again. |

The constitutional scholar, the professor, the articulate guy chose a wrong word? SAY IT ISN'T SO! Oh, the horror. The fact that he had to address it in a press conference, to address it at all, confirms that this was a thorn in his side. He could have disposed of this issue years ago, and didn't. It took 3 years to get the law waived in Hawaii for this? C'mon. Yeah, he had more important things to do. He held the presser and flew to Chicago to appear on Oprah. Like a laser, the man is. |

Careful George, I think you're starting to admire the guy. Hate to see you have to hand in your card.

You may not watch television, but surely, you know who O'Reilly, Maddow, Hannity, and Ed Schultz are. You know who hosts "Hardball," don't you? But, to answer your point: OK. Your suspicion is incorrect.

I don't know who Ed Schultz is, actually. 'The Last Word' 'In The Arena' and 'Situation Room' are all new to me with your post. |
