Thread: My issue with WND

It's no secret that I think World Net Daily is a piece of shit fictional news reporting agency, and he's why I think it.

The owner is a failed newspaper editor that ran a Sacramento newspaper into the ground within one year after losing all objectivity and insisting in right wing spin on everything.

However, it gives me a kick to read some of the crap that they post as news.

Pagan 'blessing' sought for new building

A pagan ceremony? Good lord people, it's a tradition. I pounded nails when i was younger, and we did this all the time.

Sheriff criticized for promise to enforce law

This story I was unable to decipher.

Good lord. Faith healing?

IDK... people are just retarted sometimes i guess.

Shortly after I joined PH, several of my first postings were in a thread, started by michaelr, concerning a WND article about the local police needlessly forcing health care on a child in a rural Colorado community by sending in armed SWAT forces.

The article made villains out of the law enforcement officials. So after several of us questioned WND, michaelr took matters into his own hand, called the town's police department, and asked about the story.

Turns out that WND left out some VERY important details, including the fact that two social workers had been sent to the house; both of whom left when they were physically threatened. And then the father threatened to shoot local police when they showed up to investigate. None of these details were in the WND article, though the police department admitted that they'd provided all of the details to the WND editor.

Much to his credit, michaelr now claims to take WND articles with a degree of skepticism.

No problem... WND = World Net Daily. It's a "news site" of highly questionable repute.

Yeah, especially when they can't spell "retarded."

I can go through any news site you care to name and pick out non-newsworthy stories. That doesn't invalidate everything the site has to say.

A few weeks ago you were sure you knew all about Farah and you were proven 100% wrong. Sounds to me like you are still trying to grow your manhood back after that incident.

Yeah, it looks like you were unable to decipher that was an advertisement from a third party site.

Are you OK today?
