That’s also what you’re doing in the last paragraph of your post: “I don’t know the truth, but I find it interesting that...”

This strikes me as an excuse to avoid looking at the evidence being presented.

Balanced coverage would be reporting the fact that he was born in Hawaii and has the birth certificate to prove it.

Birthers were claiming that the certificate was fake. That was at about the point I stopped paying attention.

  No, the evidence is the birth certificate. I’ve looked at it. Saying “I don’t know, but I find it interesting...” is offering innuendo in the place of evidence, since you seem to believe the birth certificate is real, which means the “born in Kenya” claim has to be incorrect.
