1. Yup. And a lot of other media...
The Moonies' media organ is News World Communications, Inc.

News World Communications, Inc., contains:

The Washington Times
Insight on the News
United Press International (UPI)
The Middle East Times, published in Cairo
The Zambezi Times, published in Zambia

According to Hoover's, the Washington Times has lost Moon one billion dollars, and its circulation is only about 100,000. That's about the circulation of the Fayetteville Observer, my local newspaper. You figure out why he's throwing this kind of money around.

2. Yes. Rev. Sun Myung Moon bought it a few years ago...
He owns a lot of freaky things, media-wise.

He also sponsored bush's inaugural breakfast.

3. I remember seeing a photo of Sun Yong Moon (sp) and the Bush family
Do either of you happen to have that on hand?
