Oh, how rich. You post a snarky misleading and over sized screen shot taken from a liberal leaning, pop culture, collection blog and think that it should be taken seriously but the retort to that if that it were came from say a WND, or NewsMax is to be laughed at is just the type of dishonest debate of late from posers that do NOT further any sort of dialogue.
Got it?

Even Republicans know WND is a joke, but if you believe them, that explains a lot.
Wiki:
WND has published articles that have created controversies and criticism of the site by other media outlets.
[edit]9/11 attacks
On September 13, 2001,
WND published a commentary by Anthony C. LoBaido regarding the
September 11 attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C., two days earlier. In his column, LoBaido outlined what he regarded as the moral depravity of America in general and New York in particular, asking whether, "God (has) raised up
Shiite Islam as a sword against America."[SUP]
[21][/SUP] Commentators
Virginia Postrel of
Reason magazine and
James Taranto of the
Wall Street Journal criticized LoBaido and Joseph Farah for the piece and called for columnists
Hugh Hewitt and
Bill O'Reilly to sever their ties with
WND, prompting Farah to respond with a column of his own explaining that the article did not reflect the viewpoint of
WND, and that it, like most other commentary pieces, had not been reviewed before being published.[SUP]

[edit]Barack Obama citizenship conspiracy theories
WorldNetDaily has emerged as a leading outlet publicizing
conspiracy theories about Barack Obama's citizenship status, claiming that Obama is not a natural-born American citizen and is thus not eligible to serve as president.[SUP]

[24][/SUP][SUP]
[25][/SUP] Such claims are considered unsubstantiated or debunked by most news sources. After the
2008 presidential campaign,
WND began an online petition to have Obama's Hawaiian birth certificate released to the public. The website also unsuccessfully urged
Supreme Court justices to hear several lawsuits aiming to release Obama's birth certificate.[SUP]

[edit]Libel lawsuit
On September 20, 2000, WND published an article[SUP]
[27][/SUP] claiming that a
Savannah, Tennessee car dealer, and fund-raiser for then-Vice President
Al Gore, had interfered with a criminal investigation, had been a "subject" of a criminal investigation, was listed on law enforcement computers as a "dope dealer," and implied that he had ties to others involved in alleged criminal activity. In 2001 the car dealer, Clark Jones, filed a
lawsuit[SUP]
[28][/SUP] against WND; the reporters, Charles C. Thompson II and Tony Hays; the
Center for Public Integrity, which had underwritten Thompson and Hays' reporting on the article and related ones[SUP]
[29][/SUP] and various Tennessee publications and broadcasters who he accused of repeating the claim, claiming libel and
defamation. The lawsuit had been scheduled to go to trial in March 2008;[SUP]
[30][/SUP] but, on February 13, 2008, WND announced that a confidential out-of-court settlement had been reached with Jones.[SUP]
[31][/SUP]A settlement statement jointly drafted by all parties in the lawsuit stated that a
Freedom of Information Act request showed that the allegations had been false, and that WND had misquoted sources.[SUP]

[edit]Feud with LGBT conservatives
WND has also come out against LGBT participants in the Republican party and their associates. In 2010, when writer and pundit
Ann Coulter accepted the invitation to attend and speak at
GOProud's Homocon 2010 event, Farah announced the withdrawal of Coulter's name from the list of speakers at the company's Taking America Back conference.[SUP]
[32][/SUP][SUP][
non-primary source needed][/SUP] Coulter responded by saying that speaking engagements do not imply endorsement of the hosting organization; however, after Farah published private emails between himself and
Coulter, Coulter called him a “publicity whore” and a “swine” in an email to the Daily Caller blog.
