We've heard moaning about bias from the 'Mainstream Media', like ABC, NBC, <GASP> CBS and PBS! What's the deal with World News Daily? Are they accountable? Or are they just another reactionary rabid right rag? How about these two examples??
Quote[/b] ](WND)Middle East reporting
In early 2005, WND hired Aaron Klein to run a Jerusalem bureau. Klein's articles have regularly promoted the causes of Israeli settlers in the West Bank and Gaza who oppose Israel's unilateral disengagement plan from those areas. He has frequently written about right-wing Israeli activists tied to the far-right Kach and Kahane Chai movement without disclosing those ties. When Eden Natan-Zada shot and killed four people on a bus in Gaza on August 4, 2005, he was beaten to death afterwards by a crowd that witnessed the shooting. Klein wrote an article for WND claiming that Zada was "murdered" by a "mob of Palestinians." Klein has also written numerous articles critical of Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.
Quote[/b] ](WND)Litvinenko and terrorism conspiracy
On December 3, 2006 a WND article said that: "Reports that KGB defector Alexander Litvinenko converted to Islam before his mysterious poisoning with radioactive polonium 210 is raising suspicions that he may have been involved in a plot to smuggle the deadly substance to terrorist groups." According to an article by The Times (London), apparently mentioning the WND article, the evidence for these suspicions was "gossip from his Muslim next-door neighbour."
Looks like conspiracty theories... but P.T. Barnum couldn't have been right could he? WND make Rush look like Mother Teresa. No wonder they're so popular with the right.
