According to reports of a new book by Mother Jones‘ David Corn, in 2010 President Obama openly placed some of the blame for his lagging popularity with white males on Fox News pushing the story that he is a Muslim.
From Politico:
Corn writes that after the midterm elections, Obama told labor leaders in December 2010 that he held Fox partly responsible for him “losing white males.”
“…Fed by Fox News, they hear Obama is a Muslim 24/7, and it begins to seep in…The Republicans have been at this for 40 years. They have new resources, but the strategy is old,” Corn recounted Obama as saying.
