Todd Starnes’ Latest Outrage that World Net Daily Happily Parrots: May God Bless America!

I have a headache and the airplane I’m in as I’m writing this has hit some turbulence, so forgive me for a short post. There are three links for this one. First, there’s the WND post, which is “Student Reprimanded for Saying ‘God Bless America.’” There actually is no story. Nada. No description in the […]

Yet Another Fake Story from FOX “News” that WND Posts, Part 7: Oregon Anti-Gay Bakery Fine, WND Commenters Advocate Christian Jihad

I was waiting for this one since I read it on the Raw Story site earlier today: “Oregon Officials Rip Fox Contributor Todd Starnes for ‘False’ Reporting on Anti-Gay Bakery.” The story on WND is found in Michael Brown’s “It’s High Time to Push Back Against Gay Activism.” Oh, and it specifically contradicts the actual […]

Let It Go / Let It Go / Fake Stories of Persecution!

This one doesn’t quite make it into my “Fake News that WND Posts” series because the story itself is real. It’s the spin that’s not. In this case, Joe Kovacs wrote on December 2, 2014, “Disney Goes Goofy Over Mention of ‘God.’” To make a long, blown way out of proportion story short, Disney lets […]

Yet Another Fake Story from FOX “News” that WND Posts, Part 6: The Book!

Todd Starnes tweets with the mentality of an 8-year-old. He writes fake stories about Christians being persecuted — not the normal ones where they seem to be persecuted because their special rights are being reverted to normal rights, but stories where he actually makes things up. And now, he has a book about it. Not […]

Matt Barber Tries to Shove a Big Ol’ Claim Into a Very Tiny Hole

On May 16, Matt Barber published a column on WND: “How Liberalism Violates All 10 Commandments.” In it, he has very clearly conflated “conservative” with “religious,” but let’s go through them just for kicks, shall we? I’ll give you his conclusion, first: In sum, liberalism is folly. It represents man’s futile attempt to disorder God’s […]

Islamist-Hater-in-Chief, Pamela Geller, Finds Something New to Get Angry Over

I of course mean the title in my own opinion, based on my interpretation of some of her writings, and have no intent to be libelous. With t hat disclaimer, Ms. Geller’s column on April 6, 2014, was entitled “U.S. Muslims Angry Over School’s Easter Flyer.” Rather than go through Ms. Geller’s version first, this […]

Boycott Girl Scout Cookies Because Girl Scouts Don’t Discriminate Like We Want Them To!!

I think that should be the actual title – once you get right down to it – of several World Net Daily articles over the past month: “What!? A Boycott of Girl Scout Cookies?” (January 30, 2014) — Bob Unruh “Millions More Asked to ‘Just Say No’ to Girl Scout Cookies” (February 3, 2014) — […]

Yet Another Fake Story from FOX “News” that WND Posts (Part 5): Can’t Celebrate America at a School

After a search of my blog, this is the fifth story from Todd Starnes of FOX “News” that is fake, and yet WND has posted it as though it were real. The story this time is, “School: You Can’t Celebrate America.” See folks, this is why critical thinking is important: This story smells fishy. It […]

World Net Daily Again Promotes Fake Story of Christians Being Repressed

Let’s get right to Right Wing Watch’s story about this: Another Religious Right Tale Of Anti-Christian Victimization Gets Thoroughly Debunked. They give the short version, I’ll try to give the short-short version: Six-year-old child was doing a “sharing” (public speaking) exercise in school, allegedly was told by the teacher she couldn’t talk about the Bible, […]

The Headline Is All You Need: “Blogging ‘Gays’ Urge Murder, Castration of Christians”

The sub-heading is, “Exclusive: Matt Barber spotlights threats made in response to assaults by topless lesbians.” Okay, I know I just did a post about The Onion. I also just did a post about Todd Starnes and, effectively, faking a news story. I fully recognize that this may seem like my attempt to “punk” you, […]
