Newsmax Repeats False White House Visit Claim
Topic: Newsmax

A Dec. 31 Newsmax article by John Rossomando states that "White House records show that ACORN CEO Bertha E. Lewis visited him in the White House in early September," citing "Andrew Breitbart’s blog BigGovernment.com."

Only, not so much.

As Politico has reported, the Bertha Lewis who visited the White House is not the one who heads ACORN, whose middle initial is M, not E. Further, as Media Matters adds, more than 100 Bertha Lewises show up in a WhitePages.com serach.

Perhaps Rossomando shouldn't be treating every single thing Breitbart reports as gospel truth.
