it seems that cnn is saying that he didnt not attend a muslim school, to make him look good for being a leftist. fox is saying he did attend a muslim school to make him look bad for being a leftist and former muslim.
seems like both realize that its bad to look like a muslim when youre running for an office, no? especially cnn, i thought they enjoyed preaching islam to the millions of naive americans. so what is cnn? communist? islamo-facsist? both? confused about its own identity?

He attended an elite Indonesian public school overseas that was primarily Muslim, but also included Hindu, Buddhist, Catholic or Protestant students. On his application he listed Muslim as his religion (one of the 5 state sponsored religions had to be chosen), although he was catholic at the time and is now christian. He claims he doesn't know why he was listed as Muslim.
Not much to tell to this story, its not that big of a deal. He may have listed muslim because he though it gave him the best change to get it. It may have been a mistake. Although I don't support him for president, anyone who makes too big a deal out of this is grossly misguided.
As far as CNN is concerned, I think they lean to the left, I think Fox leans to the right a bit. But both provide news and are fairly responsible. I Watch them both and make my own decsions

i think what it is, is, Hillary's camp let it slip that Obama attended a Wahhabi Madras's. the leader of Iran is Wahhabi. see the connection? she also said that he dresses like an Iranian.
that could make plenty of people not want to vote for him. in this case, CNN is defending him because he's been slammed.
i read that he attended a Muslim school a long time ago. however i didn't know what type it was. it seems the type of school makes a difference. OTOH i guess it makes him look like a liar, because he says he's a Christian.
personally i couldn't care less what school he attended.

CNN has the world view, at least the what they are trying to project. We here in America are required to accept that and be forgiving for the anti USA bias.
I get a kick out of McCafferty daily rant on the Wolf's comedy hour.

This is a bad stretch of the facts on your part. CNN reported the Obama didn't attend the school while fox news reported a story that wasn't true based on one annonimous source. It just proves Fox New's right wing propaganda because the school is a college and Obama was six years old.

Faux News doesn't let a little thing called facts get in the way of a story. Obama was raised a christian.
You gotta remember that Faux News was still claiming that Iraq had tried to buy uranium from Niger long after it had been disproven. Faux news was claiming that we found mobile weapons labs even after the manufacturer came forward and declared that they were unmodified mobile weather labs. I rate Faux News up there with The National Enquirer for their journalistic integrity.

I am sure it is the media just trying to make more money. If it bleeds it leads, they don't care about the truth often.

they're not saying he did not attend a primarily-muslim school, they're just saying it wasn't the radical type of school that many republicans have made it out to be....republicans are already busy making up lies about the candidates for 2008 as you can see........then if anyone tries to expose their lies, they because the "liberal media".......
