FACT CHECK: Anti-Obama film muddy on facts

This is the 1st article that comes up when you google 'Obama news'

[Walrus]

Herr Goebbels is working overtime these days.

[Mr. K]

AP is risking getting more people to know about it and go see it

NOT their desired intent, I am certain

[EDINVA]

“...a Kenyan academic who was largely absent from the president’s life.”

Fact Check could be a little more precise here, don’t you think? Like, the SOB was NEVER there for his purported son. NEVER. They met, what? Once?

[July4]

“Kenyan academic”? How about about alcoholic, irresponsible, Kenyan Communist?

AP “Fact Checking” an anti-Obama film. My, that didn’t take long. I’m sure they did similar “Fact Checking” on CBS’s fake Bush stories, or the many books written about what a terrible guy GW was. The media in this country have become a charicature of itself. Truly.

Fact Checking? No... gently bashing seems more like the truth to me. Gently trying to say; “Nothing to see here, look away.”

But it’s difficult to see how Obama’s political leanings could have been so directly shaped by his father, as D'Souza claims.

Beth darling, I really hate to burst your 0bama2012 bubble masquerading as journalism, but that "claim" isn't D'Souza's. It's Barry's. You know, like, from his book? The one titled "Dreams from My Father"? The books where he documents how the memory of his father's supposed anti-colonial and third world communist heroics shaped his political views? That book? Maybe you've heard of it?

[CivilWarguy]

The AP (Adminstration Press) hit piece is by Beth Fouhy, who has a long history of using the AP to vent her partisan bias.

[DManA]

I think the people he surrounded him self with - Ayers, Rev Wright, assorted commies and other skum, as well as his lefty mom and grand parents, explains his political beliefs better than where his father was coming from.

[Exit148]

Has FACT CHECK ever checked the Obama books? How about the birth certificate?

[listenhillary]

Has anyone fact checked the fact checkers?

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Has anyone fact checked the fact checkers?

Fact-checking the fact-checkers

Apparently, all it takes to present an aura of impartiality is to declare yourself a "fact-checker."

[FlingWingFlyer]

The Ass. Press coming to the rescue of their boy, Barry. They wouldn’t know a “fact” if one bit them on their Ass. It’s too bad they aren’t this quick when it comes to checking for the “facts” when it comes to their boy, Barry.

[ryan71]

Since when is disseminating true information about something labeled “anti” something?

[July4]

Has anybody checked to see who paid for what appears in the film to be an ornate, in-ground crypt for Barack Obama, Sr.?

[Paved Paradise]

Well...D’Souza was an idiot for putting in the Churchill bust story. There were two busts and the one in question WAS on loan. He didn’t extend the loan. Let’s be honest. We don’t need to pull out these stupid stories when we have so many REAL facts that point to Obama’s epic fail.

[Tenacious 1]

Here’s how they “fact-check.”

“Dear Mr. President,

Is anything in that movie true?”

Your loyal MSM,

-FactCheck.org”

But she can be excused for assuming that Obama really isn't that familiar with that book, since it was actually written by Bill Ayres.
