Is the Examiner another money losing rag? Is it backed by some GOPe billionaire with taxpayer bailout money to burn? Dopes.
For several years, the Examiner was backed to a massive scale....they were actually giving the paper away throughout the Arlington free. No one ever talked about what lobbyist group or PAC funded them....but it had to be in the 7-figure range yearly. They owe big-time support to someone.
The Washington Examiner and Weekly Standard are both owned and operated by The Clarity Media Group A messaging, consulting, and public relations firm. Their business model is to influence public opinion.

I believe Washington Examiner is owned by the same people who own the Weekly Standard.
