I’ve commented on the way World Net Daily disburses ad content through it’s copy on it’s front page.
But not as sarcastically as ConWebWatch. The WND site also contains advertising along the side it doesn’t have content control over.
In an article entitled CheesecakeNetDaily, Terry Krepel points out how WND objects to racy ads that wind up on it’s site by writing about them.
Published 3 years, 3 months agoAdditionally, WND’s columnists regularly rail against sexual images in the media — “Some media moguls attack our children’s innocence with a frightening level of glee and creativity,” writes Rebecca Hagelin in a July 15 column — and Farah himself harkens for the days when churches reviewed the content of movies.
But interspersed with the above articles are cleavage-laden items that seem to conflict with WND’s general prudishness. An example is a July 26 article on an ad promoting a conference about advertising that “featured a close-up shot of a woman’s chest in a black bustier,” accompanied by a photo of said ad. While the denunciations of such an ad are expected — it’s “degrading and sexist,” according to one quote — WND has made sure to include images of the ads it is denouncing. In between, WND managed to miss out on the irony of the ad, using sex to sell an unsexy conference about advertising, which faces criticism from folks like WND for using sex to sell things.

Come on WND is a great organization. At least they are saying SOMETHING about what is going on that is bad rather than sit back and say it is okay.
I’m commenting on WND advertising reacts this time DH. Last time I commented on how they did their own advertising.
I have had contact with staff at WND in other work I do. They were very polite.;^)
