It’s no different than the town jackass phoning in a false fire report to get himself some attention.
It is no different than a Delaware State professor blaming Ebola on the CIA.
NationalReport deserves attention and publicity. The entire world should know that it is the town jackass of the internet. Those affiliated with it should know that it is best to leave off of their resumes any connection to it when seeking new employment.
