The wingnut chronicles ~ By Joseph Farah

By Joseph Farah Posted: December 16, 2009 ~ 1:00 am Eastern © 2009 Let me tell you about a trend I'm seeing. I'm not sure if this is an indication of a broader drift among the media, but I have been the subject of a number of recent press interviews, including some that extended to five or six hours or more, that have never been published or broadcast. A few months ago, a reporter for the Los Angeles Times began interviewing me. We met in person once and then talked on the phone a number of times – covering a broad range of subjects, including personal history, the popularity of WND, the business side of WND, the media business in general and, of course, the issues of the day, including the constitutional eligibility of the president of the United States. One month went by. Two months went by. The reporter called me back to tell me he was leaving the L.A. Times for another paper and wanted to finish up the story before he left. We talked some more. Another month went by. Now he had left the L.A. Times and was at his new paper and expected the piece to run the following weekend. That was six weeks ago. I am now convinced the story will never run. During the course of those months, CNN called me. A reporter whose name and face you would recognize wanted to interview me about the constitutional eligibility of the president of the United States. Well, I never pass up an opportunity to talk about underreported stories like the way Barack Obama is hiding his true identity, his true persona, from the American people. So I happily went off to be interviewed by CNN. The first question posed was something like this: "Now back in the 1990s, you said that Bill Clinton's deputy counsel, Vincent Foster, was murdered. Do you still believe that?" "No," I said. "I never said any such thing. I have written tens of thousands of words about Vincent Foster's death, but I know I never said he was murdered." I could tell the interviewer was uncomfortable with my answer – maybe even unprepared. "Well, what did you say about his death?" "I wrote that there were many unanswered questions about his death and that the official investigations were all badly botched and inconclusive," I said. Finally, we got around to the eligibility question – maybe 30 minutes into the on-camera interview. "Now you think Barack Obama wasn't born in the United States," he said. "Why do you believe that?" I replied: "Again, I've never made that claim. I'm a journalist. I ask questions. I don't accept at face value the words of politicians and government officials. I think they should be accountable to the people and provide documents to prove what they say." Needless to say, that interview never aired. There were others, too – at major news organizations in the U.S. and around the world. None of which aired or were published. Why do you suppose that is? READ FULL STORY >
