    I had no idea that the Moonies owned this paper. That should completely deligitimize it to just about everyone.

      It should, but since they have spent decades ingratiating themselves with Republican politicians, which includes giving them huge amounts of cash, so higher-up Republicans tolerate them, and even pretend to venerate them. For now.

      And I doubt the base even knows what the Unification Church is, much less that they own the Washington Times. Similarly, the Falun Gong cult owns the Epoch Times, another so-called news outlet that Republicans love. But I’m guessing most of them are completely unaware that it isn’t white people they’re getting their information from.
