A lot of people don't realize the Washington Times is owned by Moon.  Someone ought to take it upon themselves to inform the public. 

not worth lineing my birdcage with it.

and accordingly, everyone ignores it except for a few peoplewho subscribe to it just to make sure nothing gets written about them (or at least so they can respond).

I'd venture to say their subscriber list is equal to the number of people who have to watch everything every paper says, and that no one except possibly some tourists who have not heard actually picks up the crappy rag at the stands.

Business people who'd normally be biased slightly conservative readership don't even bother with the Times, they get the Wall Street Journal instead.

Everyone who reads a paper in this town reads the Post, the NY Times, or the Wall Street Journal...  and the Post is slipping lately (to be fair, as are most papers across the whole country).  The Washington Times is not fit for lining a catbox...  and we all know it.

so interesting.  If a newspaper not fit for lining a cat box thinks that, for instance, Ken "Tax Dodger" Cuccinelli is a great guy, or that the other extremists they endorsed today are better choices than the sane, mainstream Democrats they disdain, wouldn't that actually add up to ringing endorsements for the Democrats?  In short, would you do anything Sung Myung Moon told you to do, or would you do the exact opposite?  Yeah, that's what I thought.

I know Republicans, good honest people, that didn't know the Times was owned by Moon until I told them.  I'll bet there are a lot more out there just like them -- everyday people who aren't informed.  They get their confirmation in the Washington Times (and the Examiner).

Are they owned by the Moonies too?  No, actually it's owned by Philip Anschutz, "an American businessman and supporter of Christian causes."  Among other things, Anschutz:

*"Helped fund Amendment 2, a ballot initiative designed to overturn a Colorado state law giving equal rights to gay and lesbian people."

*"Helped fund the Discovery Institute, a think tank based in Seattle, Washington that promotes intelligent design and critiques some theories of evolution."

That's right, a gay-bashing evolution denier owns the DC Examiner.  What more is there to say?

Though I still say he's been shut out, considering that we're talking about the Moon Times here.  For example, Caputo was endorsed by:

Washington Post
Fairfax Times
Centreview Connection
Fairfax Coalition of Police
Fairfax Chamber of Commerce
Greater Wash Bd of Trade
Natl Fed of Indpt Bus
Sierra Club
Va League of Conservation Voters

It's interesting that not even the conservatives in our neighborhood get the Times.  I walk around the place early in the morning so I see many of the papers still on the sidewalks, and . . . nada for the Moon Times.  If the Times occasionally was fair journalistically, maybe some independents would read it.

One might say the Times was the house organ of the GOP.  And as we know, the GOP can't even do the organ thing right.

Oh, well...
