More Washington Times fail

The only function of Sun Myung Moon's Washington Times seems to be to provide right-wing talking points to spread elsewhere. The paper's circulation numbers have always been dismal, but it makes up for that in influence.

It's amazing that any paper founded by a right-wing tax cheat and cult leader would be regarded as credible by anyone, but you have to remember that this is the same planet where Free Republic was practically allowed to dictate coverage of the Bush National Guard memos.

Last week, the Timesies may have hit a new low, when it ran a photo of President Obama's daughters with a story about murdered Chicago children. The Obama children are not mentioned in the story, and the story has nothing to do with them, other than the fact that they lived in Chicago.

That's like if a paper ran a story about Jim Bunning abusing the nonprofit status of his "charity" and ran my photo with it.

Washington Times editor John Solomon blamed this bizarre subliminal juxtaposition on a computer - which is as bad as when the assistant principal in middle school blamed a computer when I ended up in classes that were too hard.

Uh, John? As editor of the Times, aren't you supposed to stop stuff like this from happening?

Of course, the Timesies did this on purpose, so I didn't believe the computer excuse anyway.

The Secret Service should be looking into this pronto.

Incidentally, John Solomon was exposed here before for his right-wing hackery - which dates back to his partisan hit pieces he did when he was with the AP.
