Fox News learned that its important to check the facts before reporting the news. On Saturday, Oct. 5, Fox & Friends broadcast a segment about how the government shutdown had closed the World War II Memorial. Weekend co-host Anna Kooiman added that President Obama had offered to pay out of his own pocket for the Muslim Museum of Culture.
The source turned out to be the National Report website which is known for its satire. The story was not true either in that the president was personally financing a museum or the claim that the Muslim Museum was federally funded. Kooiman has apologized via Twitter saying that she had received flawed research and that it wont happen again.
What is true is that there really is an International Museum of Muslim Cultures, housed in the Mississippi Arts Center in Jackson. It was founded in 2000, almost a year before Sept. 11, and opened to the public six months before that tragic date. It receives funding from a variety of private sources and foundations including individuals, as well as the City of Jackson and the Mississippi Division of Tourism.
