Yet another reason why no one should rely on Fox for news accuracy. The story of Obama's childhood education at an Indonesian madrassa first appeared last week in a conservative magazine called Insight, and the next morning Fox News picked it up and played it prominently and repeatedly. Insight magazine falsely attributed the story to researchers associated with the Clinton campaign, but that's now been debunked, too, despite Insight's statement that it stands by its story.

ABC News: Huge Fuss Over Obama's 'Ordinary' Public School

As you can read for yourself in the link above, two years of Obama's elementary education, it turns out, was at a respected Indonesian public school that educated children of all faiths. The ABC reporters even visited there and researched its history. It was never a madrassa, although Islamic children attended school when Obama was there and still do today. So did (and do) Christians, Buddhists, atheists and others. Obama's campaign staff were apparently caught off guard by this smear campaign, and my instinct tells me that this particular smear may have its origins among conservatives, but the legit reporters are still working on uncovering that truth.
