The Washington Times "Newspaper"
Why is this rag given credibility by the mainstream media? It's owner, fascist and cult leader the "Reverend" Sun Myung Moon of the "Moonies" told his bipartisan audience of Washington power players he would save everyone on Earth as he had saved the souls of Hitler and Stalin -- the murderous dictators had been born again through him, he said. In a vision, Moon said the reformed Hitler and Stalin vouched for him, calling him "none other than humanity's Savior, Messiah, Returning Lord and True Parent."


Does the Times endorse or reject Moon's claims to be the messiah?

Why is Tony Blankley never identified as the employee of a notorious mind-control cult when he is introduced on Hardball and other pundit shows?

Is there nothing we can do to make people more aware that this "newspaper" is no more than a cult's propaganda rag?

1. It isn't even in the top 100 papers in terms of circulation
Conservatives are desperate for a right-wing paper, so they try to make the Wash Times have credibility. I'll get flamed for saying this, but it's kind of like Air America for liberals and talk radio.

2. Air America does not have the audience that Rush and other RW talking
heads do... but comparing AAR with a rag like Washington Times (just in terms of trying to portray the truth) shows absolute ignorance about AAR (or maybe listening to the RW opinion of AAR without checking on one's own).
