owned by billionaire Philip Anschutz, a supporter of religious right perspectives.

From Wikipedia:

When Anschutz first started the Examiner in its daily newspaper format, he envisioned creating a competitor to The Washington Post with a conservative editorial line. According to Politico, "When it came to the editorial page, Anschutz's instructions were explicit—he 'wanted nothing but conservative columns and conservative op-ed writers,' said one former employee." The Examiner's writers have included Michael Barone, Tim Cavanaugh, David Freddoso, Tara Palmeri, Rudy Takala, and Byron York.


Freddoso, the editor of their opinion page, has written several books bashing, err critiquing President Obama, including one with the delightful title Gangster Government: Barack Obama and the New Washington Thugocracy.

Please consider not linking DU to these folks. Any breaking story covered by them will also appear on the major news outlets.
