Fox News: Michelle Obama is "Obama's Baby Mama"

HOW LOW CAN FAUX NEWS CAN GO!

An alert reader wrote in just a little while ago to let us know about something he'd spotted on Fox News Wednesday afternoon. During a segment discussing conservative attacks against Michelle Obama, the wife of presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama, the network described the former as "Obama's baby mama."

I checked, and sure enough, as you can see below, our e-mailer was right. In fact, that description was displayed on-screen several times during the segment, which featured anchor Megyn Kelly and conservative blogger Michelle Malkin, an FNC contributor.

A clip of the segment in its entirety is below. You may notice that at one point, Malkin says, "By the way, it's not just Republicans who are criticizing some of her comments, but also statements have been made in the left-leaning blog Salon about her comments." I've searched the site, and I can't find anything like what Malkin is talking about. I've e-mailed Malkin asking for clarification -- if and when she responds, I'll update this post.

Media Matters - Matthews: Is Obama "too University of Chicago or too South Side Chicago" for working-class voters?: "Having previously questioned whether Sen. Barack Obama can 'connect with regular people' or if he appeals 'only' to African-Americans and the well-educated, MSNBC's Chris Matthews asked if Obama is 'too University of Chicago or too South Side Chicago' for working-class voters. Matthews made his comments after MSNBC senior campaign correspondent Tucker Carlson asserted that 'the working-class voters of West Virginia and Kentucky, and their counterparts in a bunch of states, including Ohio and Pennsylvania' are 'the voters you need to watch and he [Obama] needs to win.'"

Media Matters - Dick Morris: "[T]he question that plagues Obama is ... Is he pro-American?": "Summary: While discussing his latest syndicated column on Fox News' America's Election HQ, Dick Morris asserted: '[T]he question that plagues [Sen. Barack] Obama is ... Is he pro-American?' Morris has previously stated that 'the determinant in the election will be whether we believe that Barack Obama is what he appears to be, or is he somebody who's sort of a sleeper agent who really doesn't believe in our system.'"

Oklahoma Democrat won't endorse Obama - CNN.com

Oklahoma Democrat won't endorse Obama - CNN.com: "WASHINGTON (CNN) -- On the same day Democratic leaders stressed party unity after the drawn-out primary fight, one congressional Democrat said Tuesday that he will not endorse Sen. Barack Obama's bid for the White House. Rep. Dan Boren, Oklahoma's lone Democrat in Congress, said he has to listen to the wishes of his own constituents.

"We're much more conservative," Boren told The Associated Press.

His rural district stretches across the eastern part of the state and borders Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas and Texas.

"I've got to reflect my district. No one means more to me than the people who elected me. I have to listen to them," Boren told the AP.

His congressional office confirmed the quotes to CNN.

Boren also said Obama's record "does not reflect working in a bipartisan fashion." "
