Want to Use World Net Daily as a News Source?

American Airlines' Admirals Club has installed software that blocks access to WorldNetDaily.com, the Internet's leading independent news site, for reasons of "hate" and "violence."

It's the second situation regarding a computer block WND has encountered in recent weeks. Earlier, the military provider that makes Internet services available to U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine bases worldwide admitted that WND had been blocked.

It's always been clear that WND is a biased and agenda driven website - but when a conservative oganization like MILITARY decide that it's not a righteous news outlet, it's GOTTA tell you something!

And then there are some people who complain when people won't accept WND as a viable news source. LOL

I've never read WND... I am guessing they aren't actually full of hate? or are they?

"The issue seems to be they have some really sensitive filters," he said. "Sometimes they block different sites for whatever reason. The filters are automatic.

Filters are, though useful, sometimes a pain in the butt. I tried to upgrade my Adobe reader today and Firefox blocked it. Now I am an administrator of my own system and can personally allow or disallow. If there is an appeal on blocking it and AA denies, then you'll have a story.

That's funny! I've always considered WorldNutDaily about as reputable as the National Enquirer. I'm glad my mistrust has been validated.
