‘WorldNetDaily’ vs. transgender people

WorldNetDaily is an American far-right media organization. Its coverage of transgender topics is consistently anti-transgender.

Background

WorldNetDaily (WND) was founded in 1997 by Joseph Farah. It was a pioneering force in online conservative media. In its early years, the site drew significant traffic by publishing hard-right commentary, culture-war stories, and conspiracy-driven narratives, most notably its promotion of the false “birther” claims about President Barack Obama. At its peak in the late 2000s, WND claimed millions of monthly readers and substantial revenue from advertising, book sales, and fundraising.

However, WND’s influence sharply declined as major platforms such as Google and Facebook reduced the visibility of misinformation-heavy outlets. The loss of audience and advertising revenue forced layoffs and a shift toward aggressive fundraising appeals to survive.
