Fox-WorldNetDaily Spin Machine

Why go out and hunt for news when you can just sit in your basement and make it up? This is truly disgraceful:

From DailyKos

Yesterday, Fox News claimed that President Obama's Wikipedia entry was being edited to take out all the important "facts" of his controversial past and mysterious birth. The source of this story? WorldNetDaily's Aaron Klein, so you know it was double-dipped in truthiness.

Wired then looked into exactly what was being edited in the entry and made a interesting discovery.

Klein found it particularly alarming that a Wikipedia user called "Jerusalem21" was recently hit with a three-day wiki-suspension after twice posting the neutral and encyclopedic fact that there are "some doubts about whether Obama was born in the U.S. "

So who is this poor mistreated seeker after the truth, "Jerusalem21?"

Curiously, it turns out that Jerusalem21, whoever he or she might be, has only worked on one other Wikipedia entry since the account was created, notes ConWebWatch. That's Aaron Klein's entry, which Jerusalem21 created in 2006, and has edited 37 times.

Klein, who serves as WND's Jerusalem bureau chief, did not immediate respond to an e-mail Monday.

Klein repeatedly inserts lunatic ravings into Obama's entry, gets himself banned from Wikipedia, reports his "concern" about this horrible mistreatment of an unknown user, and Fox dutifully serves it as news.

Why bother to distort real news when you can just make up your own?
