LOL! World Net Daily. Do you seriously believe that crap?
Didn't they say that Trump craves black cock?
More shit for consumption by gullible rightists.
Besides, if he was a racist it would only attract Trump supporters because
he's also a racist piece of shit.

WND is owned by WorldNetDaily.com, Inc. and is funded through online advertising, book publishing, and an online store that sells conservative-related merchandise. Analysis / Bias
Based on reviews by all of our researchers, WND is a Questionable online
news source that has a far-right bias and dabbles in right-wing
conspiracies such as President ObamaAs birth certificate. They also use misleading clickbait headlines that do not always match the articleAs
content (See M. AllenAs review below). WND also has an abysmal track
record with fact-checkers:

Planned Parenthood Federation of America cannot find some $1.3 billion
given to it by the federal government from 2002 through 2008.o u Pants

During the CoronaVirus outbreak of 2020, WND has been accused of peddling
false and misleading information regarding the virus.
Several different media outlets have criticized WND for both promotion of
white nationalism and peddling conspiracy theories. For example, the
Washington Post and Columbia Journalism Review have written articles
describing WND as Far Right and Alt-Right. Further, The Southern Poverty
Law Center labels WorldNetDaily as an antigovernment extremist group. (D.
Van Zandt 6/19/2016) Updated (12/16/2018). Below are the detailed reviews
of each researcher.
WND is deceptive in that its news articles appear moderate and not overly sensational. However, Snopes has slammed them on many an occasion for
parsing facts and using inaccurate data. In my opinion, this site,
concerning news, is pretty deceiving as their outward appearances seem well-balanced (scam ads notwithstanding). When you take a look at their
Opinion page, their true colors are more evident. This is not a reliable
site by any measure for news, and the rest of the site is pretty much a
rag. (F. Locke Siewert (2/25/2017)
WND is a decidedly right-biased site that does carry some center and
slightly left content. This is through linking to reports from less biased sourcesufor example, Black students at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison. The actual article is a fairly well-balanced look at
the issue by Todd Richmond of the Associated Press. The lead-in line WND
used for the article was somewhat misleading, however. Using white
supremacists in quotes seems to imply that it isnAt a factor in the
studentAs demands when it is. Where the real bias on the site is evident
is on the editorial pages and staff-generated articles. Although mixed
factual, the wording is heavily weighted and misleading. Carrying some
moderate content is not enough, balanced against the editorial stance, to
rate WND anything other than right biased and Questionable. (D. Kelley 2/25/2017)
WND is far-right/alt-right. This story just came out. Direct quote oThe
story, nevertheless, was issued by the AP, which explained it obtained an 11-page document that ocalls for the unprecedented militarization of immigration enforcement as far north as Portland, Oregon, and as far east
as New Orleans, Louisiana.o
The issue here is it doesnAt link to the source but another news outlet
that uses the source that then links to the source there. This is
something you might find in a typical badly cited essay in college.
Always cite sources when referencing material.
The second issue in the article u oOn Thursday, activists protesting
TrumpAs effort to enforce immigration law carried out a oDay Without Immigrantso protest in which immigrants were to stay home from work or
school.
In Denver, some parents left work to take lunch to their children in
public schools when the lunchroom workers took part in the protest.o
This is minor, but it shows a significant downplay of how widespread and national the oDay Without Immigrantso was. It shows clear bias in how they
view said protest when you marginalize like this. A better solution is to
not reference it at all to limit bias in reporting.
