So Joseph Farah is offering "a $10,000 reward to anyone who can prove he or she was present at the birth of Barack Obama." So why hasn't he sent one to Sarah Obama?
As we've noted, WorldNetDaily has repeatedly asserted that Sarah Obama, Barack Obama's paternal grandmother, witnessed Barack's birth in Kenya. Even the article touting Farah's reward makes that claim.
If Sarah Obama's claim is good enough for WND news stories, why isn't Jerome Corsi making another trip to Kenya to personally hand over a wad of cash to Sarah Obama? Because, it seems, that Farah has a higher standard of accuracy when his own money (as far as we know) is on the line as opposed to what's left of WND's journalistic reputation.
The article goes on to state:
To collect the reward, the subject must:
1. Agree to an interview with WND journalists;2. Provide persuasive evidence, such as pictures, documents or verifiable details;
3. Agree to a polygraph test.
Interesting that Farah and WND is demanding such documentation only now. The subext here is that WND is tacitly admitting that it can't document Sarah Obama's purported claim.
Of course, that's because it's not true at all. As we've detailed, the claim rests on a selectively edited transcript and bad translators.
If WND can't prove Sarah Obama's purported claim to the point that it will pay her $10,000, why does it repeatedly assert that she made such a claim?
That WND still reports it anyway is just more evidence of Farah's and WND's journalistic and moral bankruptcy.
