The sad, sad fact is that the deranged wingnuts will focus on this story and believe it without question. Within a day or two we will have some crazy screaming that Obama personally offered to fund a Muslim museum which is proof positive that besides being a socialist, communist, fascist, terrorist, Kenyan, Obama is a Muslim!!!!!! <sigh>

No, it really isn't. Anything that fits the agenda -- salivate first, vet later.
Some things never change.

This thread should be in Media though IMHO.

Fox was so anxious to find dirt that they didn't research the story. No surprise.

In a story about the monument closure, Fox News host Anna Kooiman fell prey to a false report from a parody site, which claimed that President Obama had offered to keep the International Museum of Muslim Cultures open with cash from his own pocket.

One must really be blinded by animosity for the president to believe something so ludicrous is ‘real.’

That or incredibly stupid – likely both.

But in the fast world of TV news, it’s most likely that a producer told Kooiman about the so-called news report, which then made it on air before anyone could confirm the report’s details.

Which is why Fox is indeed not ‘news.’

Do you call it "news" when nearly every news division lies about what a person has in order to avoid negative racial connotations?

Yep, yep and yep. Animosity, stupidity, and a 'news' station that doesn't actually do real news. A great combo.

Dan Rather could make a comeback among people like this.
