Clearly The Answer Is More Kerning Analysts

Dave Weigel at the Washington Independent has really gone deep into the nasty, scummy, disease-filled trenches of the birther stupidity so you don't have to, and comes up from the sludge with this between his teeth:
A new poll from the Pew Research Center finds that 28 percent of Americans believe that there’s been “too little” coverage of “allegations that President Obama was not born in the United States” — including a plurality, 39 percent, of self-identified Republicans. Only 14 percent of Democrats and 30 percent of independents share that view.

“If anything surprised me, it’s how many people have heard about this,” said Michael Dimock, an associate director at the Pew Research Center. “When we put the question in, we said to ourselves, well, Lou Dobbs has covered it, and it’s been discussed on the Internet. For 80 percent of people to have heard something about this is pretty high.”
Just go ahead and devote 28 percent of FOX News to Obama's latest Kenyan Bahamanian Martian birth certificate, hire Lester Kinsolving as your expert, and go to town on this. Hell, let's be honest, FOX News can get away with the whole 39 percent.

The only additional coverage of Obama's birth certificate "controversy" necessary is to mock it relentlessly.
