WND (WorldNetDaily) is a politically conservative American news and opinion website and online news aggregator. The website is known for promoting falsehoods and conspiracy theories, leading some journalists to label it a far-right fringe website.
It was founded in May 1997 by Joseph Farah with the stated intent of "exposing wrongdoing, corruption and abuse of power". The website publishes news, editorials, and opinion columns, while also aggregating content from other publications.
WND is headquartered in Washington, D.C., with Joseph Farah serving as its editor-in-chief and CEO.
In 1997 Joseph Farah created the news website WorldNetDaily as a division of the Western Journalism Center. It was subsequently spun off in 1999 as a for-profit organization with the backing of $4.5 million from investors, Farah owning a majority of the stock. The site describes itself as "an independent news company dedicated to uncompromising journalism". In 1999, WorldNetDaily.com, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware with offices in Cave Junction, Oregon. As of 2015, it has offices in Medford, Oregon and Washington, D.C.
The WND website provides news, editorials, letters to the editor, forums, videos and conducts a daily poll. Its CEO Joseph Farah has said that WND provides "the broadest spectrum of opinion anywhere in the news business", but acknowledges "some misinformation by columnists".WND's content is predominantly conservative. Besides providing articles written by its own staff, the site links to news from other publications.
Notable staff includes Jerusalem Bureau Chief Aaron Klein, former White House correspondent Lester Kinsolving, and staff writer Jerome Corsi. Its commentary pages feature editorials by the site's founder Joseph Farah, as well as by commentators including 2016 Republican Presidential candidate Ben Carson, Pat Buchanan, Ann Coulter, David Limbaugh, Chuck Norris, Walter E. Williams, Ilana Mercer, Bill Press, and Nat Hentoff.
