WND ties Dunn's Fox News criticism to ... Obama's birth certificate

October 21, 2009 7:21 am ET by Media Matters staff

From an October 20 article by widely discredited WND writer and repeat Fox News guest Jerome Corsi:

Look who's married to Obama's media 'controller'; Official attacking network, anti-'birther' lawyer a couple

Attacking Fox News and defending President Barack Obama is a family affair for Anita Dunn, the White House communications director who has blasted Fox as an arm of the Republican Party and talked about "controlling" the news media.

She's married to Robert Bauer, the chief of the political law group at Perkins Coie, the Seattle law firm hired by the White House to defend President Obama in court cases challenging his "natural born" citizenship status in the United States and thus, his eligibility under the U.S. Constitution to be president.

Dunn is targeting Fox News with criticisms emanating from the administration that it isn't even a news network, while Bauer has done his best to prevent the American public from seeing a wide range of President Obama's records that could prove, or disprove, his eligibility to occupy the Oval Office under the Constitution's requirement that the president be a "natural born" citizen.

Documents concerning Obama that the White House has refused to release to the public include his long-form birth certificate and his passport records, as well as other records that may possibly be relevant, such as records regarding Obama's possible adoption by his Indonesian stepfather or college application and tuition financial aid records which would reveal whether Obama was ever registered as a foreign student.

      such as records regarding Obama's possible adoption

      Just how does one go about releasing records about something that may or may not, have happened?

      These right wing crackpots must stay awake at night thinking this crap up

        Fiendishly clever.
        Almost as clever as spouting extreme rightwing positions, recieving some critism and calling said critism an attack on all who call themselves conservative.

        You mean those leftie polls that show a majority of Republicans don't believe Obama was born in the US?

      If Corsi comes within 50 feet of any story, it immediately becomes total BS. He is also a regular guest on Coast to Coast AM with all the alien probe recipients and Sasquatch sighters. 'Nuff said.
