The Washington Times is THE paper of record for right-wingers and conservatives here in your nation's capitol. It's the print version of FOX News and constantly feeds the right wing noise machine. The editorials have been horrible and the paper is blatantly homophobic. And, it's owned by the Moonies.
There's trouble brewing over at the Moonie Times. Top executives have been fired or "resigned." But, this is the best story yet:
The former editorial page editor of the Washington Times has filed a discrimination complaint against the paper, saying he was "coerced" into attending a Unification Church religious ceremony that culminated in a mass wedding conducted by the church's leader, the Rev. Sun Myung Moon.This could get really ugly. Can't wait.
Richard Miniter, who was also vice president of opinion, made the claim in a filing Tuesday with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission that also disclosed he was fired last month. He said in an interview that he "was made to feel there was no choice" but to attend the ceremony if he wanted to keep his job, and that executives "gave me examples of people whose careers at the Times had grown after they converted" to the Unification Church. A Times spokesman said the paper would not comment.
