Washington Times sold

The Washington Times sale that began with a due diligence process in late August has gone through, sources close to the sale tell POLITICO.

News World Communications, the paper’s parent company, chaired by Preston Moon, sold the paper to News World Media Development, a Delaware-registered LLC led by former Times Chairman Douglas Joo.

The sale represents a return to the paper’s old guard and has widely been interpreted as the paper’s founder, the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, reasserting control over the 28-year-old newspaper that has been one of the most public faces of his sprawling business empire.

A staff meeting has been called at 11 a.m. to discuss the sale. More details as we get them.

And how long have they been at this -- 20 years now?

20. Thanks ... I meant strictly owning Wash. Times... couldn't remember how long ....

but foul stuff -- think everyone is more aware of the Poppy relationship ....

$4 million after he left office, was it? Ormore --

I will check your link and save it -- a little too much excitement today to do it now!!

Didn't know, btw, about the death of this Congressional staffer --

No wonder there was so little facing down of right wing after JFK coup --

they were immediately targeted and pushed from office. Sometimes more than that!!!

Thank you for info ---

2. Sounds like a "sale" in name only.

Since Doug Joo is a Moonie flunkie himself.

3. The never-turned-a-profit proganda rag changes hands again.

Even when it was a physical newspaper, its circulation was laughable. Let Moon continue to throw money down that hole.

6. They call a criminal enterprise a "business empire"

Sure just like Vito Corleone's business empire. How many families had to be destroyed to finance that POS rag for all those years? How many roses had to be sold at traffic lights? How many chessy Korean trinkets had to be peddled door-to-door?
