The uber-liberal New York Magazine reports:

Breitbart.com, as part of its continuing quest to bring you the stories the mainstream media refuses to report on, or else has already reported on but without the requisite paranoid hysteria, has a breathtaking new blockbuster exclusive: Barack Obama's literary agent created a promotional booklet in 1991 that described him as having been "born in Kenya."
There's a bit more at the link plus 202 comments and counting. I haven't looked at the comments yet but I would guess that NY Mag has more left-wing posters than we do here at FR.

Someone claiming to be an editorial assistant posted this comment:

Miriam Goderich issued the following statement to Political Wire:

“You’re undoubtedly aware of the brouhaha stirred up by Breitbart about the erroneous statement in a client list Acton & Dystel published in 1991 (for circulation within the publishing industry only) that Barack Obama was born in Kenya. This was nothing more than a fact checking error by me — an agency assistant at the time. There was never any information given to us by Obama in any of his correspondence or other communications suggesting in any way that he was born in Kenya and not Hawaii. I hope you can communicate to your readers that this was a simple mistake and nothing more.”
