My heart bleeds. It couldn't happen to a nicer guy. 
WorldNetDaily — the right-wing conspiracy theorists best known for relentlessly pursuing the discredited idea that Barack Obama is not eligible to be president because he may not be an American citizen — is apparently in serious financial trouble. WND editor Joseph Farah sent a letter to WND’s mailing list on June 1 admitting that WND “faces an existential threat.” Farah claims he has kept the fact that WND “is in a sizable hole” hidden from the public until now because “I have been afraid to fail.”
Naturally, this is all somehow Obama’s fault, not Farah’s:
Barack Obama’s early years were good for WND - even until three years ago. WND was an important opposition voice. People clung to it. They wanted to hear the truth. And they still do. But, not enough people listened to that voice, because Obama was returned to office in 2012 and his policies have continued to ravage the very fabric of America’s economy. Many businesses, including other media businesses, have also been hurt badly - some of them much bigger than WND. And just think of all the billion-dollar retail businesses that have collapsed in the last few years under Obama. We’ve dubbed it “The Retail Apocalypse,” and that’s no exaggeration.
Farah carefully avoids the core issue: While readers do want to hear the truth from the media, that’s not they’re getting from WND. This is a website, after all, that went all in on hating Obama — it was a money-maker early in his presidency, as Farah admits — then went even harder on Obama-hate for the 2012 election by publishing sleaze and lies about the president and refusing to admit its anti-Obama birther crusade was completely discredited.
Live by Obama-hate, die by Obama-hate. Farah is learning that lesson now.
