Rick Montgomery of the Kansas City Star offers the same old article as others dealing with the issue of obama citizenship in "Anti-Obama bloggers challenge birthplace", link. The sentence below contains one lie and two misleading statements:
The argument is over his place of birth - Hawaii, if you accept statements by Hawaiian officials, his 1961 birth notice in a Honolulu newspaper and a certified document his campaign obtained 18 months ago.
As detailed at the penultimate link, officials have never stated that his birthplace was Hawaii, only that his certificate is on file. And, the birth notice didn't include any details on his place of birth, only the address of his parents. And, the "certified document" has only been (supposedly) seen by FactCheck and only provided to the American public in JPEG form.
Montgomery goes on to mock this issue as simply a figment of the imagination of far-right bloggers, when it's Montgomery's failure to do real reporting that should be mocked.
