and the various suggestions I've seen all over the place, including in major media outlets, that Obama wears a bone in his nose, that he was an anchor baby, that he participates in racially-motivated black power marxist revolutionary groups in secret, that his birth certificate was forged some forty odd years ago so he could become president and destroy america, terrorist fisting between him and his wife (sounds like that could be fun, kinda) etc etc etc. Wasn't Glenn Beck's show one of the better performers in his niche when he was running all that crap up the flagpole? What about O'Reilly... isn't he still on the air?
Don't forget that a few years ago the rich people in Venezuela attempted a putsch on Chavez, preceded by all their media outlets saying stuff just as outrageous. It wasn't until the army realised that they'd have to machine gun thousands in order to make it stick that it fell apart... and a lot of the push (and money) for that came from the same people that own the media that are telling you how evil Chavez is.
