Politico described the paper as "a megaphone for (Anschutz's) right-wing views on taxes, national security and President Barack Obama." The Examiner's parent company, Clarity Media Group, also owns the conservative opinion magazine The Weekly Standard. The Examiner co-sponsored the Republican presidential debate in Ames, Iowa on August 11, 2011.

1. Nobody in DC ever read the thing, even though it was free.

An advertising rag with a Bad Attitude. Less of a real newspaper, even, than the Moonie Times.

2. Their biggest circulation was to the paper recycling bins on the DC Metro system

Or just left under seats on the train cars.

They published others in other cities that went nowhere, too.

Good riddance.
