John Solomon should be called to account on whether he will accede to the mad demands of his employer, the Reverend Moon, seen in my new documentary screaming at Times staff that they must leverage the power of the paper to “lead the way to prevent free sex.”

His article about the militarry is similar to his reporting at the Post. Factless. The Ombudsman at the ‘Post,’ Deborah Howell, ripped one of his pieces to shreds, politely, when she said, “there is no there, there I believe about the Edward’s house purchase. Maybe not. Anyone who would think he didn’t give the secret handshake, start to convert to ‘Moonieism,’ and genuflect or kiss the ring or what ever they do to submit to the loonie owner to join the ‘Times,’ is simply loonie themselves. This is a hire similar to what Richarf Mellon Scaife has at his papers editorial boards.

Anyone who goes to work for the washington times knows what she/he is working for. Anyone reading the wt is like someone listening to rush or beck or …, it’s only to reinforce fraudulent “knowledge.” It is just disheartening to see wt “reporters” given their time on Washington Journal.

Editors do what the Publisher tells them. The Publisher decides on the political slant of the paper and signs the editors’ paychecks, thereby they own them. The editors makes sure the paper comes out on time, handle the day-to-day assignments/aspects and that the subscription rate only drops slightly or somehow, miraculously stays even during their tenure. That’s how the daily newspaper journalism world works, sadly.

Solomon is just being the a$$clown for his boss. But Solomon probably wanted to slack off anyways and it’s not like the Times is a real source of news. Hell, it’s sad when you only see one of their reporters on the 700 Club…just as a token gesture that they still exist.

I wouldn’t wipe my butt with this rag. Another thing, if the conservatives want partisanship rather than consensus and compromise they’re asking for war. After awhile the nasty nature of these people makes others nasty too. Nothing is sacred if they are going for slash and burn.

John Sullivan is akin to your common concern troll: They can keep up their act for a while before they lose it and demonstrate their true wingnuttiness. For years, Sullivan toiled away at the WaPo pretending to be an objective journalist, all the time writing spurious hit pieces on Democrats by inflating non-events into apparent scandals. We’re all better off the mask of objectivity has been ripped from his smug face forever.

Maybe the entire Washington Times staff can have a mass wedding to satisfy the dead leader. I call Norplant in the punch, that would be some scary ugly spawn if the guy that runs that rag is any indication.

We will first get rid of the stupid politicians and then we are going to get rid of newspeople who’s work is based on a agenda that serves no one except distortion. The truth always wins in the end.

I would call John Solomon a disgrace to journalism, but one needs to actually have been a journalist at some point to qualify for that distinction.

New rule…

If you work for a radical religious cult leader, you are not allowed to criticize anyone else as being a “Kool-aid drinker”.

Xisithrus,

….and the Lexington Institute is a right-wing think-tank funded by the defense industry and Exxon/Mobil. They advocate MORE privatization of our military. Gee, I wonder why? It couldn’t be because they are funded by the defense industry, could it?

Solomon served his neo-con masters well, and has been richly rewarded.

Oh Ha! He was a hack at the Washington Post – He will be a hack at the Washington Times.

His articles were so stupid – he probably got fired.

Crackpot Realism.

“Loren Thompson, who runs the Lexington Institute and stays in touch with defense industry executives, said Mr. Obama is difficult to categorize.”

Not the military. This is Rovian spin.

Ain’t that the truth. The Moonie Times loses about 1 million dollars a month. Ever pick up a copy? There’s hardly any advertising in it. I thought right wingers are all about business and profit?

Then again, when the self proclaimed Messiah is the owner of the paper, he doesn’t care if he makes any money, it’s all about having an outlet to disseminate lies and propaganda.

The Washington Times has never made a profit.

I guess it’s your typical neocon business model.

In a righteous universe, anyone daring to speak the words John, Solomon, Journalism, and Integrity in the same sentence would instantly be on the receiving end of a divinely-rendered red hot lightning bolt which would leave the offending utterer of such blasphemy a smoking pile of gelatinous flotsam.

Just saying . . .
