Charles Foster Johnson (born April 1953) is editor of the political blog Little Green Footballs. He is credited with producing flak that has undermined journalists or their accounts. Following the Israeli war against Lebanon, when Johnson disseminated flak to undermine the credibility of news accounts about Israeli massacres, Johnson was bestowed a prize for "promoting Israel and Zionism."[1] Israel National News (Arutz Sheva) has referred to Johnson as a "Righteous Gentile" (he isn't Jewish) because of his support for Israel (see Ronen).[2] Johnson's blog has been described as follows:

Although it tilts right politically, it provides a cornucopia of information about radical Islam here and abroad that ought to be of use to anyone with an interest in the subject, and Mr. Johnson edits it with intelligence and wit. ("Religion of Peace Kills 14,Wounds 3," is one of his characteristically cutting headlines.) If you believe that the war on terror is necessary, that the occupation of Iraq is ultimately generous in intent, and that the level of Muslim immigration to the West poses a serious threat, then this is surely a Web site for you.Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag
