Hope they stay afloat. Some superb reporting and editorials there.

What do we think it will fetch? Are there any conservative groups who could make it work? Breitbart? What is that conservative network that Kelsey Grammer is doing?

[Happy Rain]

Well,it will be nice if a veracity devoted patriot paper like the WT wasn't always dissed by the Left as a “Moonie rag.”

Rupert needs to add it to his empire.

Well, I’m afraid you could see this coming. There seem to be internecine problems in the Unification Church. I hope someone can be found to take it over. I don’t think it’s ever been profitable, but perhaps something can be worked out.

Rush Limbaugh, this is your opportunity to get into the “traditional” media and spread the conservative gospel.

The Washington Times has never been a major newspaper as just falls at the bottom of the top 100 US newspapers in the US.

I don’t think anyone will be willing to by it and eat that 35 million a year.

So this will give the Compost an extra 6 months of life.

Depending on the buyer, The WaTimes could go from Moonie to looney!

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

The Washington Examiner has been eating its lunch.

This is sad news, but expected.

I never understood why the Unification Church subsidized the Times. Leftists seemed to believe that the WT was nothing more than the house organ for the church, but it was not true. Over the years I noticed a few articles on the church, but this did not seem unusual, since the WT (unlike the Compost) frequently covered news about religion.

To me the WT always seemed just a straightforward, conservative, no-barf-alerts-required newspaper. When I had to be on the left coast for a few months, I subscribed by mail.

I hope they can survive.

Be nice to see a Washington Times/New York Post merger.

Paging Rush Limbaugh.

Mr. Rush Limbaugh.

Please pick up the house phone...

About time. The Moonies have pretty much run the paper into the ground. No more sports, little to no local news, so many other things cut back. With a enw owner, maybe it can be revived. Maybe Murdoch?

[TBP]

Solomon organized a group of investors to purchase the Times or launch a new multimedia outlet called The Washington Guardian.

I hope someone else buys the Times and Solomon goes ahead with teh Guardian. That would braoden the DC media options, whihc is a good thing.
