I used to believe WND was a legitimate news source. (For the record, I also once believed in Santa Claus.) It is a shame that even if they do publish something that is true I will not be inclined to believe it due to the large quantities of ridiculous, made-up nonsense they produce. The site that cried wolf, so to speak.
Other news sources have picked up on this story (Reuters, Yahoo! News, MarketWatch, etc.)
