SUMMARY: On July 28, CNN president Jonathan Klein reportedly defended Lou Dobbs' coverage of conspiracy theories about President Obama's birth certificate by falsely characterizing Dobbs' coverage as being limited to asking why some people continue to doubt Obama's citizenship. In fact, Dobbs has gone far beyond reporting on other people's conspiracy theories; he has repeatedly used discredited arguments to cast doubt on the adequacy of the birth certificate Obama has provided.
