Fox closes out decade by pushing debunked falsehoods
Fox News and its website The Fox Nation closed out 2009 by advancing debunked attacks on President Obama. Specifically, Fox News hosted Ann Coulter, who repeatedly made the false claim that Obama attended “madrassas” as a child, while The Fox Nation continued to promote Andrew Breitbart’s story that “ACORN CEO Visited Obama White House Week Before Scandal Broke” days after it was reported that the “Bertha Lewis” who visited the White House was not, in fact, the Bertha Lewis who is the CEO of ACORN.

Coulter: Obama “attended madrassas.” On the December 28 edition of The O’Reilly Factor and the December 30 edition of Glenn Beck, Coulter
Fox Nation continued to promote the story through January 3.
