ABCNews.com Takes Steve Doocy To Task For “False Claims” About Obama

CNN isn’t the only network debunking the claims about Barack Obama:

“An ABC News producer and crew visited the school in Jakarta, Indonesia… and found it to be a normal government public school without even a hint of the extremist elements reported by various conservative news outlets in the last week,” ABCNews.com says.

The Web site story counts Fox News Channel as one of the conservative outlets. Look at this paragraph: “The false coloring of Obama’s early education gained considerable steam during a “Fox and Friends” round table on Jan. 19, 2006. Host Steve Doocy said that Obama spent ‘the first decade of his life raised by his Muslim father as a Muslim and was educated in a madrassa.’ It is almost impossible to tabulate how many false claims are in that sentence.”
