Your simple faith in Nairobi's largest newspaper is quite touching.
What happened? You said you were never going to post to me again. You’ve posted to me multiple times since then. As long as you keep it civil I don’t mind.
And yes, both The Daily Nation and The Standard of Nairobi are able to fact check local items/issues/entities. That’s a big part of what newspapers do. If they screw up, they have to print a correction. [Newspapers don’t like to issue corrections; that’s why they fact-check.] If you were right about David, some—not one, but some—of the Ndesandjos’ neighbors and acquaintances would have written the paper and pointed out the error. A correction like that would have spread like wildfire in the Birther community.
But of course no one who actually knew the Ndesandjos has ever disputed David’s existence. Quite the contrary. When Sally Jacobs interviews the neighbors, they affirmed him.
