Ben Carson Joins Far-Right Outlet WorldNetDaily

It appears that in 2016, there will be two GOP presidential candidates who have worked as columnists for WorldNetDaily: Rick Santorum and, as announced today(link is external), Ben Carson.

Back in July, Carson sat down with WND editor Joseph Farah to discuss why he believes that drug reform laws are meant to distract from Benghazi (link is external) and that President Obama is a Leninist(link is external).

As we have noted on previous occasions(link is external), WND is a birther(link is external), racist(link is external) outlet which has suggested that Obama is a secretly gay(link is external)Muslim(link is external)communist(link is external)demon-possessed(link is external) dictator(link is external) who is setting up concentration camps(link is external) and cattle cars(link is external) for his planned holocaust(link is external).

WND, nonetheless, remains influential in right-wing circles and has access to high-ranking Republican politicians. Another likely Republican presidential candidate, Sen. Rand Paul, even cited the website’s “reporting” to substantiate one of his Benghazi conspiracy theories, while admitting: “I don’t have any proof(link is external).”

In fact, “I don’t have any proof” is a great way to describe WND’s style of journalism.
