“I founded it because there was a crying need for an independent brand of journalism beholden only to the truth.”

And, he failed miserably with the truth. So, in the end, all the site is is a conspiracy outlet for all the tinfoil hatters. Someplace to go where they will be accepted.

Clarifying: I didn't say anything about the Web 1.0 sites keeping readers “in the George W. Bush era”, or that “the radical on the far left is banned from sites like Daily Kos if he/she posts a conspiracy theory.”

I was summing up the conversation, but if you disagree with that interpretation I'll change it.

Farah is a religious k00k. When is the last time you met a religious k00k who displayed any meaningful obligation to facts, reality, etc? Answer: you never did. It is plainly oxymoronic–by their very nature, that is what they fundamentally reject. Let's quit beating around the bush out of some sense of “politeness” or whatever.

Not all ignorers of facts and reality are religious k00ks, but all religious k00ks are thoroughgoing ignorers of facts and reality. Welcome to Joe Farah's world.

Farah says that this passage in the Boston Herald article, quoting Jerome Corsi, was unfair:

“[A] proposal in Congress 'appears designed to create the type of detention center that those concerned about use of the military in domestic affairs fear could be used as concentration camps for political dissidents, such as occurred in Nazi Germany.'”

Farah then says that this left out key words, and that Corsi's statement was more accurate and nuanced. Because Corsi wrote:

“The proposed bill, which has received little mainstream media attention, appears designed to create the type of detention center that those concerned about use of the military in domestic affairs fear could be used as concentration camps for political dissidents, such as occurred in Nazi Germany.”

The only thing different is the opening clause. Otherwise it's word-for-word exactly the same. Farah then says “But perhaps you need to be slightly more literate – or concerned about the truth – than Thomma to see the distinction.” I have to admit that I don't see any substantive distinction either.

No conspiracy theories on Kos or Huffpo?? lol. Let's see for starters, Bush stole the election, Bush lied soldiers died, Bush wore an earpiece in the Kerry debate, 9/11 was an inside job, and the big Kos generated conspiracy theory: Sarah Palin is not Trig's mother.

Note to David Weigel, you're officially a joke as a reporter. Too bad, you had promise.

There is nothing nuanced when you use a phrase like, “such as occurred in Nazi Germany.”

But, it's a great story…

Bush did lie. Often.

Kos banned the election 2004 conspiracy theorists from the site. It was a big deal at the time. And the community rating very frequently ousts 9/11 truthers et al.

I especially love it when WND cites WesternJournalism.com, or vice-versa. The latter being Farah's other site.

What Farah lacks in integrity he makes up for with a killer '70s porn star mustache . . .

He's Jeff Rense' fraternal twin.

Bush did lie about why we were going into Iraq. Thousands of soldiers who were sent there died.

I started reading the World Netdaily when it first appeared online.
Thanks to Joeseph Farrah China is not leasing our Naval bases, congress was asleep at the wheel as usual. Clinton didn't have to give China long range missile tech. so he just decided to lease out the base to China. Thanks to WorldnetDaily it was stopped. Millions of Americans could have been dead today and yet Clinton was never charge with Treason. After the spread of Nuclear tech. to many countries the Demorat party had the nerve to send Albright to Russia and sign an old Russian treaty that would not allow us to have a missile defense .
Thanks to Pres.Bush that we are all alive today for his quik action in restoring our missile defense and yes he had to bump heads with Russia, he stood firm and today we were safer than we have been in years but today we once again face the threat of not being able to defend ourselves and it will take people like Joeseph Farrah to make sure all Americans are in formed.
By the it was Joe that also brought attention to Clinton's massive land grab in Utah, Clinton once again should have been charged. This was just one of many things that was the start of what is going on today. TREASON, the dependency on foreign oil, the meltdown of the financial market, the take over of this country with communist Czars. MY OPINION, not removing the corruption from our government makes tham illegal, they are required to stop down. Those Czars will replace congress without a doupt, this is a Treasonist act. All America must demand that these Czars are not funded by US tax dollars. Congress and their murdering healthcare is a slap in the face and they may be laughing now but when they are removed and obama with the help of Chevaz and other communist countries will remove them from office and try for the take over of this country. If you think it can't happen guess again. Did you ever think obama would be in the White House,? did you ever think congress would really bankrupt this country?
