AP reports that MSNBC has just admitted being the victim of a hoax when it reported that Gov. Palin didn't know that Africa was a continent, not a country. It wasn't just MSNBC and Fox News that fell for this hoax. (As I write this, a Google search on "Sarah Palin Africa Country" produces 385,000 hits with the top ones about the claim that Gov. Palin thought Africa was a country while the more selective Google News produces 8,219 hits on the same topic.) Newsbusters spotted the hoax several days ago.
Lack of scepticism when it comes to smears against Republicans is part of a pattern. After the election, even the Washington Post ombudsman admits its coverage was pro-Obama.
