re: #122 Lidane

NPR posted something about that on their Facebook feed yesterday. Pretty much straight down the line, the comments were ripping NPR for even giving that nontroversy any coverage, or even wondering why Obama’s religion matters at all.

Apparently they’re continuing to report on the spreading misinformation:

“We are in such a highly polarized political environment. Our country is sorting itself into more closely knit, opposing factions each year” — factions, DiFonzo suggests, that in turn become “echo chambers” for factoids that aren’t fact at all.

Nearly one in five people, or 18 percent, said they think Obama is Muslim, up from the 11 percent who said so in March 2009, according to a poll released Thursday. The proportion who correctly say he is a Christian is just 34 percent, down from 48 percent in March of last year.
