Little Green Footballs or LittleGreenFootballs, political blog Little Green Footballs LittleGreenFootballs

Little Green Footballs or LittleGreenFootballs or LGF is a political blog run by California web designer Charles Johnson. 

In the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks, Johnson - who describes himself as pretty much 

center-left before 9/11 - transformed his blog Little Green Footballs or littlegreenfootballs 's discussion of bicycle 

racing, programming, web design, and the occasional humorous news item into a very active 

discussion of the War on Terror, Islam and the Arab-Israeli conflict. 

Media observers have described the site Little Green Footballs or LittleGreenFootballs or LGF as right wing observes 

Johnson:

I'm not pretending I'm giving equal time to both sides. But I do think what I'm advocating, 

and what I believe in, is the right side.

For promoting Israel, and Zionism and "presenting Israel's side of the conflict, Little Green Footballs 

won the Best Israel Advocacy Blog award from the Jerusalem Post in 2005. 

According to Gil Ronen, a reporter for Internet news outlet, Israel National News:

If anyone ever compiles a list of Internet sites that contribute to Israel's public relations effort, 

Johnson's site Little Green Footballs will probably come in first, far above the Israeli Foreign 

Ministry's site.

In the United States, Little Green Footballs LGF is perhaps best known for playing a key role 

in raising doubts about the authenticity of the Killian documents regarding President George 

W. Bush, which preceded the resignation of CBS's Dan Rather. The site Little Green Footballs won the 

Washington Post's reader poll for Best International Blog in November 2004 and played a large role 

in bringing attention to altered photographs in the Adnan Hajj photographs controversy. In July 2008, 

Little Green Footballs LGF identified that photographs of Iran's nuclear missile test had been altered, 

and was credited by much of the media for this.
