Topic: WorldNetDaily
WorldNetDaily has a long history of making false and distorted claims about Obama administration officials.
Media Matters documents the latest example -- three articles, two by Bob Unruh, falsely claiming that Education Department official Kevin Jennings "counseled a 15-year-old student to keep quiet about being seduced by an older man." In fact, not only was the student in question 16 (and thus of legal age) at the time of his counseling by Jennings, there's no evidence whatsoever that that Jennings told the student to "keep quiet."
UPDATE: An Oct. 23 article by Unruh repeats the lie as well.
