For an organization that loathes the mainstream media, World Net Daily sure craves their acceptance. The book publishing division of the far-right, Obama-obsessed organization released a new title about the president last week and it鈥檚 furious about the contempt with which major news organizations have greeted it. So much so that WND sent out two E-mail alerts last week to complain bitterly about the hostility. And, in a novel marketing ploy, the publisher urges people to buy the book as a means of defying the same traditional media whose approval it covets.

The book 鈥� The Manchurian President: Barack Obama鈥檚 Ties to Communists, Socialists and Other Anti-American Extremists by Aaron Klein and Brenda J. Elliott 鈥� was among Amazon.com鈥檚 top 10 sellers last week; it had fallen to 16^th as of this morning. It claims to have uncovered 鈥渃opious new details鈥� about Obama鈥檚 ties to one-time Weather Underground co-founder William Ayers and to a 鈥渞adical, far-left church鈥� during his childhood, as well as his supposed associations with the Nation of Islam and black political extremists. There also are claims linking Obama senior advisers Valerie Jarrett and David Axelrod to communist activists.

鈥淭he book seeks to expose an extremist coalition of communists, socialists and other radicals working both inside and outside the administration to draft and advance current White House policy goals,鈥� says a WND press release.

This is standard fare at WND, which continues to obsess over Obama鈥檚 birthplace, even though there is no credible evidence he was born anywhere but Hawaii, making him a U.S. citizen.

Klein鈥檚 publicist was greeted, not with mere indifference, but downright hostility after she sent press releases pitching The Manchurian President to her list of media contacts. She couldn鈥檛 even give the book to some of them. Here were some responses she received, according to WND:

鈥� 鈥淩idiculous crap鈥� 鈥� a New York Daily News editor

鈥� 鈥淎bsolute crap鈥� 鈥� a Huffington Post editor

鈥� 鈥淣ever, ever contact me again鈥� 鈥� a Time magazine writer

鈥� 鈥淪ensational rubbish鈥� 鈥� a Newsweek editor

鈥� 鈥淪eriously, get a life鈥� 鈥� an AOL writer

Some might see these responses as merely reflecting a lack of interest in searching for dubious links floated by often anonymous sources to draw predictable conclusions. WND, however, sees it as proof of that the media is protecting an undeserving president. The Web-based publisher breezily dismisses the mainstream news organizations as 鈥渢he dying, dinosaur media鈥� who are 鈥渘ot even interested in a good story! That鈥檚 why it鈥檚 important for you to crush the gatekeepers, stomp on them, destroy their temples, burn their groves, smash their false idols. You can do that by doing the opposite of what they want you to do. In this case, they don鈥檛 want you to know about Manchurian President, apparently because it dethrones one of their political icons. So be sure to read it.鈥�

And then, WND helpfully displays a link and a telephone number to order the book and 鈥減oke them right in the eye by being aware of their efforts to control you and what you know鈥� 鈥� and, of course, to help WND鈥檚 bottom line.
