When the NPR director of giving talks about how Obama says he was born in Hawai'i and how "there's still a question about where he was born that that's a fact," I believe she's stating that there are questions even though it's a fact that Obama was born in Hawai'i.

She immediately follows by asking whether NPR should also address questions about whether the world is flat.

So . . . she's comparing people who question whether Obama was born in Hawai'i to people who argue that the world is flat and using that as a reason why NPR doesn't cover the (as she calls them) 'birthers.'

I believe WND is spinning her statements.

"There's still a question about whether he is and that is a fact," she said. "But I think the challenge in our society now is questioning facts. It's not opinions that we're debating. It's what are the facts? Is the world flat? I mean is that the next question we're going to debate?"

I was reading it as she is saying "the fact" is that there is still a question about the President's eligibility. And then "the challenge" is to question these "facts"... that part is unclear but interpretted maybe she's saying that it's no longer opinions (or motives) that we have to debate, but we have to find out what facts are shaping these opinions... (?)

I'm not sure. The first part makes sense until she gets to the second part.
