Max Blumenthal to ruin Washington Times's day

Like Mel Gibson, Times editor Wesley Pruden (above) hasn't distanced himself from the questionable views of his father -- who expressed enmity for "niggers, Communists and cops."

Rev. Moon's right-wing Unification Church, which purports to be a force for ending bigotry, has spent billions of dollars subsidizing the journalism world's rankest cadre of racists.

From FishbowlDC:

We hear a bit more about Max Blumenthal's upcoming piece for The Nation magazine, which we reported on Friday.

A source, speaking on the condition of anonymity, informed us that the article, which comes out in early September, aims to be an extensive, devastating expose of the Washington Times that relies on numerous sources inside the newsroom to expose "the racism and sexism of [Managing Editor] Fran Coombs, as well as the craven attempts by [Company President] Douglas Joo and [Editor in Chief] Wes Pruden to cover up for him."

Uh-oh, this could get ugly. W.Timers: Let us know the vibe within the newsroom regarding Blumenthal's piece...

And will this September piece support the also-forthcoming writings of George Archibald and Robert Redding, Jr.?

Redding writes in to tell us:

"I plan a series of podcasts on the subject to be available on
ReddingNewsReview.com this fall. I am undecided about what to call this out of the box series. Why a podcast? I am using my more than a decade of radio broadcasting experience to record these unrestricted podcasts to ensure that the truth gets out."

Next post: Senatorial songwriter Orrin Hatch's composition for Rev. Moon.

"John Gorenfeld: The first man on the Moon"
-- Ana Marie Cox ("Wonkette," Time.com Washington editor)

"Thanks to the superb reporting of John Gorenfeld on Salon.com and his indispensable Web page, Moon's shenanigans are routinely scrutinized. Maybe some of Gorenfeld's discernment will rub off on preachers and politicians."
-- Tony Norman, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette columnist

"The scene summoned the moment in Robert Graves's "I, Claudius" when Emperor Caligula declares himself a god in the Roman Senate; a fawning solon instantly offers a prayer."
-- New York Times editorial on the Crown of Peace scandal

"I am happy that our work is being challenged and improved in consistency, openness and coordination, by the accountability your spotlight demands. I am not talking about simply removing stuff from websites..."
-- Moon spokesman the Rev. Phil Schanker

"Instead of welcoming Reverend Moon, this government put me into prison. History will reveal the truth in the future and the American government and people will realize what an evil thing they did. What will they do then? They will bow down. Again, that is the way of natural subjugation." -- Moon in 1987

"A political movement basing its appeal on old fashioned patriotism and family values simply cannot justify an alliance with a cult that preys on the disintegration of the American family and advocates allegiance to an international social order operating with cell-like secrecy."
-- Rep. Jim Leach (R-IA)
