CNN: Hearsay by a number of people
Saw a headline from CBS, the network that brought us Dan "ol' Reliable" Rather: "Birther" claims debunked in new report. Oh, really? thinks I. Okay, the original report was at Commie News Network, but I scanned the CBS article. Paragraph 1: "there is no doubt that President Obama was born in the United States." Graph 2: [CNN report] concludes that "Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961. Period." Graph 3: Doubt… has been thoroughly debunked by multiple sources. Graph 4: The matter was dead until The Donald (tell Joe Farah!). Graph 5: Poll results showing which groups believe what. Finally! in paragraph 6, the PROOF: CNN interviewed a number of sources who were able to confirm the validity of the president's birth certificate and provide first-person accounts of the events surrounding his Hawaiian birth. Oh, I see. Hearsay by a number of people confirming a birth certificate nobody's seen, and "eyewitnesses." Boy, I'M convinced!
