The trouble is, his organization does own the Washington Times, the only completely conservative newspaper in the US and certainly the only DC-area source of conservative opinion and news. All the movers and shakers in DC on both sides of the aisle read the Washtimes and most of them have good relations with the editorial staff, like Wesley Pruden, and the editorial page writers and columnists. It's a very odd situation. If there were an alternative print news source representing the conservative side this would not be an issue, but of course there isn't one.

Exactly. Ownership, influence, association. Pruden et al are at a disadvantage.

The real trouble is that Moon is not the 2 dimensional cartoon character he's made out to be. When the Washington Star closed it's doors, no one stepped in to assure the public had a conservative voice in D.C. The Times costs him something on the order of $40 million per year. Why does he do it? He says his only aim is to save America.
