Help defend WorldNetDaily from attack
Anytime an organization presents views and articles contrary to the agenda of the left, they will typically come under attack. This is the case with the news organization WorldNetDaily. Please support them if you are able.
What do atheist-activist Michael Newdow, half a dozen radical Islamic groups, and Al Gore's top home-state fundraiser have in common?
They've all sued or legally threatened WorldNetDaily.com.
"It's an occupational hazard," says WND founder and Editor Joseph Farah. "Just as coal miners risk cave-ins and police risk being shot, journalism organizations risk being sued. It goes with the territory. When people don't like what you report about them – even if your reporting is totally true – they can and often will sue you, or threaten to, if they have the means."
For example, as a result of WorldNetDaily's aggressive reporting on Islamic terrorism, several Islamic groups – both in the U.S. and overseas – have threatened to sue WND. So far, each attack has been successfully defused out of court by WND's dedicated attorneys. But radical Muslim groups are not the only legal threat.
Attacking from another direction, atheist Michael Newdow – who infamously sued to have the "Under God" phrase taken from the Pledge of Allegiance – turned his legal guns on WorldNetDaily, filing a $1 million libel lawsuit against the Internet news organization. WND quickly beat back Newdow's baseless attack.
Sometimes, it is WND that is put in the position of having to take the legal sword in hand. For instance, after its highly publicized year-and-a-half battle to obtain press credentials from the Senate Press Gallery in Washington, D.C., WND finally threatened to file a lawsuit against each member of the Senate's "Standing Committee of Correspondents," which was unjustifiably denying WND its rightful accreditation.
Within days, the "Standing Committee" capitulated and did what it should have done 18 months before, which was to grant WND Senate Press Gallery credentials – a vital tool for journalists in the nation's capital.
So important was this case that, a few months later, the Senate Press Gallery weighed reforms in the accreditation process, pointing to the WorldNetDaily battle as proof change was needed.
