We’ve previously noted how WorldNetDaily is trying to ignore the existence of John Woodman’s book debunking birther conspiracies, and that WND’s Jerome Corsi has refused to debate Woodman over birther claims. The former remains true, but Corsi pulled an about-face on the latter.
Woodman reported that Corsi changed his mind and would debate Woodman on a radio show. That show aired Jan. 21, and audio is available here.
Corsi has curiously continued to refuse to acknowledge Woodman’s existence at WND — even though Corsi now obviously knows about Woodman and his book. He’s not the only one: Woodman has reported that most birther outlets failed to report on the debate.
Why would Corsi keep up the act? Are he and WND really that afraid to let their readers that their views have been credibly rebutted? It certainly undermines any claim they have made that they are only interested in the truth — it appears they’re really only interested in attacking Obama.
One could assume that had Corsi found a way to discredit Woodman, he would have told us by now. But he didn’t — which is probably why Corsi has stayed silent.
