If the political news landscape was T-Mobile Park and One America News Network was the right field foul pole, the Epoch Times is somewhere between the right field dugout and the pier the Coast Guard parks icebreakers at. That book is OUT THERE! If the Epoch Times just “leans right” I shiver to think of what those guys think is really far to the right.
