Yes, and it's owned by the moonies.

The post is a bit of a paradox. It is definitely liberal in it's op-eds and what it allows to be printed; however, it's not like the NYT. Unlike the New York Times, The Post is actually still capable of real journalism and will print stories such as climate-gate.
