Fox is as big a CNN and MSNBC combined

It's the biggest news channel by far and they along with the rightwing blogosphere and radio talk shows provide the "news" for half the country. There's no question they all fanned the flames of conspiracies about the president being a muslim.

And are you saying no one has examined Rev Wright? We heard more about him than I've heard about Mormons. There was at least a few weeks of intense negative news coverage about his church in 2008. Nothing on that scale has happened in the media about Romney's church.

Mormons think black people have the mark of Cain. They wouldn't allow blacks into their priesthood until 1978 when, facing losing their tax exempt status, they had a revelation!!! God told them it's okay now - just in time, god!

If Obama's church believed as a fundamental tenant that another race was a certain color as punishment by god, I think it would be fair game for at least some in the media to examine it.

And Romney is not just a church goer, he's a bigwig in the Mormon hierarchy.
