Is the National Report akin to the Onion?

Just looking for validity because if this is true, we have idiots in Canada that will want to follow suit.

I tried to check into an article they had awhile back...I couldn't find any other sources.. just reposts of the original article..

If I remember correctly.. the author didn't check out either...


seems to be some sort of "mock" citizen journalism.. hiding under a banner that shows Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin... to lend it conservative credibility...

this author.. conservative Cathy... has several sights..

http://conservativecathy.com/author/cathyredmond/page/4/

but none show the above mentioned article..

so while I wouldn't say it is satire site .. it isn't overly credible... the NR just believable enough that it gets reposted alot by conservative sites..


for the most part, I wouldn't use them as a source without at least mentioning their lack of credibility...

with all that said.. I wouldn't put it past liberals at the federal level to at least try to ban hunting for kids...

Most likely a Leftitst site trying to drum up false allegations against Conservatives. It's designed for leftist facebook people like OT, that believe everything they read and pass it along to all their email friends...then they have supposed justification to call Conservatives "fearmongers"

Wait, are you suggesting leftists would masquerade as conservatives, then make inaccurate claims so they can slur all conservatives?

Nobody has less credibility than ot
