Yahoo News Says Barack Obama Born in Kenya

U.S. President Barack Obama born in Kenya? Yahoo News made that mistake in a recent article.

According to Mediaite, in June 21 article, Yahoo News reported that Obama wouldn’t “be stopping at the country of his birth” in Africa.  Obama was born in Hawaii.

Yahoo News has since published a correction on the article, but Huffington Post published a screenshot of the inaccurate version of the article (below):

The correction reads:

“Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly identified the president’s birthplace.”
