You may be right in that assessment. Considering that angle, perhaps Bret Baier covered the story a) because it was on Drudge and therefore necessary to weigh in and b) because it was a political connection to the military, which is always news (e.g. overseas military votes every election.)
Medved did it again during his show yesterday. He called down a woman caller who brought up the birth certificate issue by asking her if she had a shred of evidence that the Zero was not born in Honolulu. The woman did not come back with a good response, but my response would have been, how can anyone have any evidence, since all of Zero’s records (including his long form birth certificate) are in lockdown, and he is fighting in court and spending a lot of money to keep them that way. I would then ask why Medved and the lamestreams aren’t hammering Zero to release all his personal, medical, and educational records as other presidents have had to do WHILE STILL CANDIDATES FOR OFFICE.
