The Republican Party’s Favorite Newspaper

2:42 am EST September 21st, 2006 | Media | 2 Comments

Max Blumenthal details the troubles at The Washington Times’, the quasi-official paper of America’s right-wing.

Both Coombs and Pruden, meanwhile, are facing a litany of complaints from former and current colleagues of racism and sexual harassment. More than a dozen well-placed sources spoke to The Nation. Many wished to remain anonymous, for fear of jeopardizing their jobs. Others spoke on the record. But the sources are consistent about the atmosphere Pruden and Coombs have fostered inside the paper, which they describe as profoundly demeaning and abusive to women and minorities. Preston Moon has hired the powerhouse Washington law firm Nixon Peabody to interview Times staffers about the allegations of racism and sexism.

Racism and sexism on the right? You don’t say!

    Oh, really…so shocking that old salty newspapermen will use slang in the newsroom…WOW. I am so shocked. NOT. Please. And ohhh, so suprising that there is office-politiking over who will be the next Wes Pruden. Honestly. The “expose” was lame.

    I wonder if they stole money from an Alzheimer’s charity as well?
