Interesting quote from Marc Fisher, Metro columnist for The Washington Post, in this afternoon’s online chat:
And my personal favorite story, one you will have missed unless you happen to have seen yesterday’s Washington Times–that’s the other paper in town–in which there was a two-page spread featuring messages from the Great Beyond, where every single American president from George Washington to Dick Nixon has felt compelled to reach back into the living world to tell us that they have come to see the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, chief of the Unification Church, which owns the Wash Times, as the Messiah. It’s an amazing read, and while I assume that there are real journalists who work at the Times and have no special love for Moon or his cult, it’s hard to imagine the rationalizations they must go through to justify working for a certifiable loon.
Anyone know if that story’s available online?
