'''Jim Corr''' (in full, '''James Steven Ignatius Corr''') {{lived|1964}} is an [[Ireland|Irish]] musician, initially best known from {{wpl|The Corrs||.}} He is now better known as a [[conspiracy theorist]] and [[fractally wrong]] denier of… pretty well everything. He is a [[9/11 truther]],<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20190717181452/https://www.irishcentral.com/culture/entertainment/irish-songwriter-jim-corr-believes-911-was-staged-106751893-237726161 Dara Kelly, "Irish songwriter Jim Corr believes 9/11 was staged."

Before 2014, Corr's website was full of anti-[[fluoride]] hysteria, [[7/7]] denialism, links to [[Mercola]] articles, and repetition of [[false flag operation]] accusations from the likes of [[Alex Jones]] and [[Paul Joseph Watson]]. There are so many other examples of crackpottery that it could almost be a touchstone for [[Scopie's law]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20110819001329/http://jimcorr.com/ Jim Corr's website as captured August 19, 2011.]</ref> Someone, possibly the band's manager or one of Corr's sisters, seems to have talked him into toning down the website. As of summer 2019, he has continued to be a vortex of [[crank magnetism]] on [[Twitter]].

Corr is also a supporter of [[Donald Trump]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20190720024711/https://twitter.com/Jimcorrsays/status/1143989348804677632 Corr's Twitter]</ref>
