Ok, then some reponsible journalist SHOULD investigate these things.
But the Globe isn’t responsible and a crackhead is not reliable.
...and Bat Boy is not really in my sock drawer.
Yes, of course the problem is that thare ARE no responsible journalists doing investigative work these days. There are a few honest commentators, but they don’t go out and dig up facts. So on issues like the birth certificate or this one, all we can do is dig around and read as much as we can.
The Supermarket Tabloids did actually release some important true stories in the clinton years. Which is not to say that they are usually reliable. And they did nab Edwards and expose his little affair last year. But Obama is a lot slipperier and more powerfully situated than Edwards, of course. The powers that be were happy to eliminate Edwards, but that doesn’t currently apply to Obama.
