The One-Source Wonder Blunders In
Topic: WorldNetDaily
Jon Dougherty reminds us why he won that Slantie Award for his slanted, factually deficient reporting. From a Sept. 1 WorldNetDaily column:

[O]ffers of international aid and assistance to help us get back on our feet are not exactly pouring in [after Hurricane Katrina]. As of this writing, I've seen exactly two offers of assistance.

Meanwhile, a Sept. 1 CNSNews.com article reports the following:

As graphic and disturbing footage of the devastation left by Hurricane Katrina fills TV screens around the world, the U.S. government has received numerous messages of condolence as well as offers of assistance from more than 20 countries.

If Dougherty can't even keep up with the current events he writing about, it makes you wonder about the online mag he currently operates.

UPDATE: Another thing Dougherty might have noticed if he had bothered to do any research before writing his column: President Bush apparently doesn't want any international help.

UPDATE 2: NewsMax serves up its own version of Dougherty's whine, claiming that is "shameful" that "only 25 nations" have offered assistance, "and almost none have offered what America has so often provided: money."
