We’ve detailed how WorldNetDaily has used a particular photo (which it stole from the Associated Press) to falsely smear transgenders as hairy guys in dresses. But that’s not the only picture WND has used with transgender-related stories — it’s also fond of out-of-context pictures of Obama as well, portrayed as appearing to mock WND readers.
Here’s a June 10 article by Bob Unruh on how “a school district has sued the federal government over his mandate that schools allow boys into girls’ lockers and showers, and girls into boys'” that includes a sinister-looking picture of Obama:
And here’s a June 2 article by Unruh on how Obama says his gender identity policy is based on the Golden Rule, using a photo of an apparently smug-looking Obama taken from the White House photo archive and presumably having nothing to do with transgender issues:

Here’s a June 22 article by Bob Unruh on an anti-abortion group accusing Obama of “twisting words to defend a California state mandate that forces churches to fund abortion in violation of the First Amendment right to free exercise of religion, featuring an out-of-context picture of a laughing Obama:
Such misuse of photos is yet more evidence of why WND has no credibility and is in serious financial trouble.
