The Washington Times was founded by the direction of Unification Church founder Sun Myung Moon in 1982.


By 2002, the Unification Church had spent about $1.7 billion in subsidies for the Times. The paper has lost money every year that it has been in business.[6] In 2003, The New Yorker reported that a billion dollars had been spent since the paper's inception, as Moon himself had noted in a 1991 speech, "Literally nine hundred million to one billion dollars has been spent to activate and run the Washington Times"[7]. In 2002, Columbia Journalism Review suggested Moon had spent nearly $2 billion on the Times[8] In 2008, Thomas F. Roeser of the Chicago Daily Observer mentioned competition from the Times as a factor moving the Washington Post to the right, and said that Moon had "announced he will spend as many future billions as is needed to keep the paper competitive."[9]

The print's a little small to read in your post.

The paper you listed is a Moonie rag.

Do your political prejudices matter that much to you that you'll patronize a newspaper owned and run by a cult?
