No matter how much we learn about Barack Obama, FOX News will still claim he's a mystery to voters. Last night FNC aired the first part of an investigative report Presidential Character & Conduct about Barack Obama who has already been scrutinized relentlessly and often unfairly by the network. Unfortunately, the hour long special hosted by Bill Hemmer was a carefully crafted attempt to create more doubt and confusion about Obama as well as reinforce the smears and accusations FOX News has tirelessly promoted.
The FOX website released a collection of information about Obama to go along with their examination of his "character and conduct'. The choice of material pretty much illustrates the message they crafted in last night's piece.
While exploring his Chicago history, there was a major emphasis on Tony Rezko. After building up strong suggestions of Obama's guilt, Bill Hemmer concluded that he had done nothing illegal. Once again, Tony Rezko is prominent in FOX's extra info list providing a copy of his indictment, an investigative report from the Chicago Sun Times, and even a map of Rezko's projects
Although time was spent exploring Obama's community work in Chicago there was very little emphasis on his teaching career at the University of Chicago. Although viewers were informed that after interviewing 400 Columbia University graduates none of them knew Barack Obama when he attended, they didn't bother to interview even one of his students about their experiences in Obama's class. Wouldn't that have provided insight into the candidates character?
