The cited article of this post has an incorrect link. They included an extra ‘.’ in the url. Here is the correct link:

http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=91196

Following that link one finds another reference to the birth certificate story with an explanation of why Snopes is wrong. No matter whether you believe that Obama was born in Hawaii or not, it is quite plain that the COLB provided by the campaign and cited by Snopes is not definitive.

It also mentions an EPA story about the safety of cfl bulbs. The writer faults them for providing links to the EPA in order to “prove” the assertions of the EPA. I would have to agree that this is not good journalism, but it isn’t really a “lie”.

I don’t have it at my finger tips but I was reading one of their stories on an issue.

It was very slick, like a politician that is asked a question, talks for five minutes but does not address the issue.

They put up the questionable issue and the responses and then talked about only the responses. I got done reading it and was like “What, they never addressed the question?”. Went back and read it a couple more times, same opinion.

They are slick, very slick - just like a politician.
