1. UPI was bought up by the Moonies, who own the GOP.. so yes, they are
shills for the reich wing.

12. Moon also funded Tim LaHaye for years - The LEFT BEHIND books are the
product of years spent perfecting mind control techniques.

LaHaye and Moon have been allies for about THIRTY YEARS, but no journalist can find any interest in that connection, when they both control the votes of so many?

3. It's owned by the same owner of The Washington Times, i.e.,
the "Reverend" Sun Myung Moon of the "Moonies" cult, an uber-conservative who has contributed to causes of George Herbert Walker Bush and his chimp son, Dumbya.

Do a google on this nutcase particularly the tenets of his made-up religion.

11. What surprises me is that sometimes they actually do some good reporting.
Perhaps it depends on the individual reporter, I dunno. But yeah, Thomas packed her bags and split pronto when UPI was sold to the Moonies.
