Helen Thomas quit them because they were "too loony" for her.

UPI used to be respected in the fifties and sixties....kinda like the Wall Street Journal, which was conservative but not insane, before Murdoch bought it.

The brand has been irretrievably besmirched by that Moonie stink. The WASHINGTON TIMES, their garbage paper, is unsuitable even as bird cage lining!
