Your question is the problem. You don't know about this, because you probably work for a living, and this kind of thing just doesn't get broadcast. It has been a storm all week on the internet.

API is a legitimate news organization based in Norway, specializing in news of Africa. Their stories are usually very mundane. http://africanpress.wordpress.com

They suddenly claim that Michelle Obama called them on the phone ranting about the way they are reporting news of her husband and claiming racism regarding his citizenship. This is an important story, with many marks of being authentic. But you haven't heard a thing, because it can't break free of the blogosphere, for obvious reasons.

I hope you understand, I'm not giving you a hard time, just that there is a problem with getting info into public view.

You're close with your assessment, but they are in Norway, not Africa. Yea, surprised me too.
