You have to sign into Yahoo to do that. I think it’s worth making a Yahoo account.

The Washington Times was founded on May 17, 1982, by Unification movement leader Sun Myung Moon and owned until 2010 by News World Communications, an international media conglomerate founded by Moon. It is currently owned by Operations Holdings, which is a part of the Unification movement.[5][6] (Wikipedia)

12. And the anti-democracy forces have used these useless vessels to spout their lies.

Washington Times / Examiner. Whether owned by one cult or another.

Libertarians and other people/organizations that want to overthrow democracy use these outlets.

DU could perhaps add a colored (orange?) border around any article that references them. I don't think we should not mention them but just let everyone know that the content may be suspect.
