WND Disingenuous Promo Watch
Topic: WorldNetDaily
Ah, another day, another disingenuous WorldNetDaily promo.

An Aug. 25 promo for the day's Joseph Farah radio show note that his guest is Andrew Breitbart, longtime assistant to gossip Matt Drudge. The article notes that Breitbart's new web site, Breitbart.com, "features Associated Press and Reuters stories, along with the slogan 'Just the news'" and describes Breitbart as "the Internet entrepreneur whose 1-week-old news website is the fastest-growing site in the world."

But nowhere is it explained why Breitbart's site is so popular -- wire articles cited on the Drudge Report now link to Breitbart.com.

Given WND's attacks on the Associated Press and Reuters, why would it promote a web site that has only AP and Reuters copy?
