Birthers: Montana Independent copy editor disciplined after adding 'allegedly' to Obama born in Hawaii report | Mail Online: A newspaper copy editor who added the word 'allegedly' to a report stating Obama was born in Hawaii has been disciplined after the report generated searing attack from readers.
Appearing in the Montana Independent on Sunday, the edit to an Associated Press report covering the president's visit to Asia was said by the paper to have been an error in judgement, wrongly meant as a joke.
The AP's line was changed to read: 'The Asia trip underscores Obama’s efforts to establish the United states as an Asia-Pacific power, a worldview defined by 21st century geopolitics but also by Obama’s personal identity as America’s first Pacific president. Obama was allegedly born in Hawaii.'
