Jerome Corsi's Bogus Journey

[NYCGirl]

This would be hilarious if it weren't so pitiful.

Jerome Corsi's trip to Kenya certainly started out to be an excellent adventure.

WorldNetDaily claimed on Oct. 2 that its senior reporter was heading to the African country "at the invitation of Christian missionaries" worried about "the rise of Islam" there. Those "missionaries" are never identified; in fact, Corsi and WND never mention them again other than a passing reference in one later article that Corsi met with some.

Perhaps that's because the real motive for the trip is to smear Obama. As the WND article goes on to state, "Corsi said he is carrying a $1,000 check for George Obama from WND founder and CEO Joseph Farah." What follows is a regurgitation of the story of how Barack Obama's half-brother "lives on $12 a year in a six-by-nine-foot shack in the shantytown of Huruma on the outskirts of Nairobi" -- a claim debunked by none other than George Obama himself.

WND didn't tell its readers about that, of course, because WND is not interested in telling its readers actual facts about Obama. The hallmark of its Obama coverage has been to spread numerous lies about him. They run the gamut from uncritically reporting Larry Sinclair's laughable claims to twisting an Obama misstatement about which relative helped liberate which concentration camp into an assertion that Obama was making a "discredited distortion of the Holocaust" to baselessly insisting that Obama's reference to a "civilian national security force" means that Obama wants to create a "domestic Big Brother program" even though Obama has described the "force" as "teams that combine agricultural specialists and engineers and linguists and cultural specialists who are prepared to go into some of the most dangerous areas alongside our military."

In other words, WND won't let the truth get in the way of a good Obama smear. And since Corsi has basically been shamed into issuing corrections to his attack book, "The Obama Nation" (even as he insisted that the Obama campaign "failed to prove a single falsehood"), he doesn't appear to either.
