Then CNN had to do REAL reporting by actually getting the facts and proving the typically unprofessional Fox News wrong yet again. Fair and balanced? About as credible as a used condom on a porcupine.

Very pathetic, they not only believed the lies written in Insight, (Obama is not a Muslim, never went to radical Muslim school, Hillary never said a word to Insight about Obama being a Muslim or going to a Muslim school) they actually put it on the air... wow... just wow...
Nice touch with the metaphor btw.

You'll get a lot of denials from cons that believe everything that Fox reports(I use the word reports loosely). I have the article in my files, it's been proved to have no factual basis at all. The article first appeared in a magazine (you know how factual some of them are) and then was spread by blogs. That was all Fox needed to report it as the gospel truth. They were proven wrong by other news networks that took the time to investigate. The investigating networks reported the school as being secular and public and has a long history of accepting students of all faiths. Of course the repubs won't believe a word other then what Fox, Limbo ugh, and Coulter have to say. Do you supposed they're so accustomed to lies from their fellow believers that they no longer recognize the truth when they hear or see it?

This report was originally in Insight Magazine who said they got the information from Hillary Clinton's people.
Obama admits to going to a Moslem school, but from further checking into it, its not a wahabi'ist Islamic madrassa school as was reported.
Yes Fox shouldn't have reported on it until they checked out the story for validity.
As to the source of the info I guess we cant know for sure if its Hillary's people or not as im sure no one would admit to it.
--- as to truth seeker in the next post I was under the understanding that his father was Muslim. Not that it would matter as his parents split when he was 2 years old.

It may be a low blow, but don't think for a minute that it doesn't ever go the other way. Media is, and always has been, leaning to the left. It's a fact. So until Fox News came along there was little voice on TV for the right. I am not saying that reporting this story is the nice thing to do, but it's Fox News playing the game invented by the liberal media over the last number of decades.

Why let facts get in the way of a good slime job?
(see: McCain- 2000, Clinton 1992-present, Kerry 2004-present)
How many CNN anchors went on to be the White House Press Secretary for the Dems?
The whole "it's okay for FauxNews to be a rightwing platform because the rest of the media is leftist" is idiotic and believed by only the slowly disintegrating inner circle of neo-con righties. These same people believe that Bush has "vision" and Cheney "just has bad aim."

I just read that article too. Anyone who takes Fox news seriously should be totally embarrassed by this story. Thank God the major news networks are going out of their way to expose Fox for its totally false reporting.

I remember the Fox news team at the 2004 Democratic Convention, they acted so positively superior to the goings on below them and stuck out like men wearing tuxedos at a game of horseshoes...they are so blatantly biased and look at things from a perspective not produced from the common man....I really don't think they understand the things Liberals say, it's like a different language to them

"Obama lived in Indonesia as a child, from 1967 to 1971, with his mother and step-father and has acknowledged attending a Muslim school, but an aide said it was not a madrassa.
Insight attributed the information in its article to an unnamed source, who said it was discovered by "researchers connected to Senator Clinton." A spokesman for Clinton, who is also weighing a White House bid, denied that the campaign was the source of the Obama claim.
He called the story "an obvious right-wing hit job."
Source: http://www.cnn.com/POLITICS/blogs/politicalticker/2007/01/cnn-debunks-false-report-about-obama.html
My notes: An aide denied the claim, and the Clinton camp denied they had anything to do with it.
My Opinion: I would believe FOXNEWS, which presents issues discussed by both parties, over CNN and its total left slant.

FOX is a racist company.
I love football and I refuse to watch it on Fox. I used to watch American Idol, not any more.
