TYT: Fox News Fact Check Fail on Obama Muslim BS



Via Mediaite: "Fox News anchor Bret Baier took a moment today to correct President Obama's claim in author David Corn's new book that he was "losing" support from "white males" because "fed by Fox News, they hear Obama is a Muslim 24/7, and it begins to seep in." Baier took the opportunity to correct the record for his viewers. "For the record, we found no examples of a host saying President Obama is a Muslim," Baier concluded...".* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur presents video clips from Sean Hannity and Steve Doocy that appear to contradict Baier's 'fact check'.

job to correct that person, as Rick Santorium pointed out. It's to their benefit of their sheep think Obama's a Muslim, and they're well aware.

Another great trick they do is to have an "opinion" host make a statement (i.e. "the president is a Muslim&quot and then have the "news" segment filter it in by saying "Find out why some are now saying the president is a Muslim"...

Gotta hand it to them, deception is their thing.

Consider the two phrases:
1. Obama is a Muslim
2. Obama is a Muslim?

Both are telling you the exact same thing, but that question mark means, as Glenn Beck likes to say, "hey, Im just asking a question."
