It Keeps Going and Going and Going and Going
Balloon Juice — The Obama is not a citizen/birth certificate story, once again for posterity in the Chicago Tribune: An anti-tax activist from upstate New York who is questioning whether President-elect Barack Obama is a “natural born citizen” eligible for the nation’s top job said Tuesday that his non-profit group spent “tens of thousands of dollars” to get his message across in ads in the Chicago Tribune this week. Robert L. Schulz, 69, chairman of We The People Foundation, took out ads Monday and Wednesday to raise questions ...

Obama Citizenship Rumor Peddlers Buy Ad Space In The Tribune
Politics on HuffingtonPost.com — ... The Tribune, naturally, forged a response of their own to the matter, and for the most part, it accords Obama the credibility he's entitled to, noting: "Cases challenging Obama's citizenship have been tossed out of courts in several states, and Hawaiian officials have vouched for the authenticity of Obama's birth certificate, which is locked in a state vault.

For running questionable anti-Obama ad, Chicago Tribune wins Media PUTZ of the Week
BuzzFlash.org - Progressive News and Commentary with an Attitude | Fight Ignorance: Read BuzzFlash — ... from the organization on December 1 and again on December 3, 2008. The Tribune ran an article refuting every single major point made in the ad, yet "a Tribune advertising spokesman said the newspaper has standards for what ads it will accept and that the ad met those standards." Then what are those standards? The group running the ad has the money to pay for it? Would the Arizona Republic run a similar ad about McCain, if he had been elected? Probably not, even with a better case to be made against McCain. Would the Chicago Tribune have run a full-page ad demanding that ...
