When idiots determine the news

This is what we get.

On the front page of CNN.com no less:

It remains red meat for some critics of President Obama. But a CNN investigation confirms what most analysts have said since the "birther" controversy erupted in 2008: Obama was born in Hawaii. CNN's Gary Tuchman reports. FULL STORY

It is shocking that a group of conspiracy theorists who are a small minority of the population and who exist on the fringe, have driven this story to the front of a national news organization.

Shows you what money and power can do, because the "birthers" are not just made up of crazy right-wingers but also consist of some very powerful monied interests. Watch the film "The Billionaire's Tea Party" and you'll understand what I mean.
