Anyone heard of 'Natural News'?
« on: August 05, 2013, 06:07:41 pm »
I'm not asking as some form of promotion, but I've been forwarded an email from this site that states that they're looking for additional writers/bloggers for content, and are willing to pay. Chances are I'd be writing mostly about music and/or the environment/climate change/green tech/self-sustainability. Given who sent me the link, and the name of the site, however, I am not sure that I want my writing to be associated with this site. Does anyone know anything about Natural News who can provide some insight? I do not want to get sucked into a conspiracy website by taking this offer.

There are a number of ways, though my favourite is simply to take them by surprise. They're just walking down the street, minding their own business when suddenly, WHACK! Penis to the face.

Did a quick bit of Googling and got this: http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/NaturalNews

So, yeah, make of that what you will.

Natural News is... yeah. You know those Mike Adams cartoons about homeopathy in the Worst Political Cartoons thread? Those are form Natural News. They're an anti-vaccination, anti-medicine, anti-science conspiracy theorist site.

Unless you went in as a deep cover parodist (which might actually be kind of funny), I would not touch that job with a ten-foot pole.

I was going to say, yes, I've heard of them, but Osama bin Bambi summed it up quite well.  Only throw in lolbertarian commentator as well.  He seems just as concerned about gun ownership as the "OMG, FBI raids "natural" farmer and shuts him down for selling milk!"

After enduring several articles, I summed up his credibility on par with Weekly World News.

Money's money. Create a fake name with the first name of some pro-vax person and the last name of a vax-inventor. Write deep-cover satire. If you pull it off, you get to make fun of them and make money off of it.

I am not known for that kind of subtlety.

Ahh. Well, I still think it's worth a shot, because, well, money.
