Most of those who think Obama is Muslim learned it from "the media"
Here's an amazing nugget buried in the Pew poll's internals: A solid majority, 60%, of those who believe that the President is a Muslim say they "learned" it from the media. Until now the common explanation for this phenomenon has been to blame it on viral Internet campaigns and word of mouth. Maybe some voices on the right have succeeded in creating an alternate reality that really is impenetrable. Maybe traditional news orgs haven't been forceful enough in knocking the lies down.
