"WND never reported that Obama had spent $2 million hiding his birth certificate."Joseph Farah wrote the above in his column today at WorldNetDaily, as part of a follow-up rebuttal to a Salon article about Donald Trump repeating a Birther allegation.
- Joseph Farah, April 23, 2011
Is Farah correct? Has WND only reported the amount that Obama paid his legal counsel, without suggesting that all of those funds were spent on eligibility issues? Has WND never reported that Obama spent millions to hide his birth certificate?
Consider the following 48 quotes from WND articles. This is not a comprehensive list; I simply gave up when I reached the four dozen mark. Also included for timeline purposes are the three Chelsea Schilling articles mentioned by Farah and Salon.

"If one court had guts enough to deal with this and allow discovery, Obama would be out of office," Berg told WND. "We would ask for a lift of Obama's ban on all of his documents.

It looks a lot like someone at the WND copy desk has an "insert fake paragraph" key on the computer, and they use it to insert whatever propaganda Farah likes into articles almost at random. Is there any other way to explain why the exact same paragraph appears in columns by Corsi and Unruh -- other than the possibility they are both craven plagiarists and plagiarized from the same incorrect source?
