Natural News founder Steve Adams should be in jail

It seems like from time to time people on DU post stuff from Natural News and fortunately it's usually called out as anti-science rather quickly. I just wanted to share this RationalWiki page that details a lot of the crap they are known for. I also learned that they are anti-Obama and promote conspiracy theories about Obama and gun control. This is something I just learned today. From what I can see the founder Steve Adams probably doesn't even believe the crap he is pushing, meaning he is killing people for profit and is totally fine with that. He is the lowest form of scum on the planet and should be in jail. He probably would be in jail if he had the guts to stay in the US instead of fleeing to Guatemala.

Here is just a taste of what Adams pushes outside of alternative medicine:

Adams has also issued his informed opinion of the 2012 Aurora, Colorado shootings, declaring that they were "obviously" staged, or perhaps that the killer, James Holmes, was involved in "experimental" neuroscience that got out of hand.[77] Furthermore, he says the 2013 attacks on the Boston Marathon were a false flag operation by "private military contractors."[78]

Seeing Natural News posted on DU is the equivalent of citing someone like Glenn Beck or worse, it simply has no business on DU.

Crap minds read it and believe it.
More crap unleashed in the world leading to mountains of crap.
ENEnews is crap too, but of a different consistency.
Look for Natural news/crap defenders to come along shortly and laugh about rationalwiki.

Is DU really citing it?

I'm on the health group and haven't seen it posted as a source.
