One Right Wing Massive Economic Loser is not Enough

Golly, billionaire rightwinger decides that the District of Columbia needs more needless tree deaths. The residents of Lafayette Park and the Parakeets of Washington rejoice.

A media company owned by billionaire investor Philip Anschutz said Wednesday it will launch a free, six-day-a-week newspaper in the Washington, D.C., area on Feb. 1.
The Washington Examiner, a tabloid, will replace three suburban newspapers that Anschutz's Clarity Media Group bought from Journal Newspapers Inc. last year for an undisclosed sum.

The Examiner will be published Sunday through Friday and will tailor some news and opinion pages for residents in the District, suburban Maryland and northern Virginia.

The company said home delivery will also be available in parts of Washington, a rarity for a free newspaper in a big media market. It is planning an initial daily circulation of about 260,000.

Mr. Anschutz as Lambert at Corrente points out, is much more than your average newspaper publisher...oh wait a minute, no he isn't he is a big ol' wingnut.

Anschutz has supported socially conservative causes. In 1987, Anschutz's family foundation gave Focus on the Family founder James Dobson an award for his "contributions to the American Family." According to its Web site, the Denver-based group works to "counter the media-saturating message that homosexuality is inborn and unchangeable" and one of its policy experts called legalized abortion an example of when "Satan temporarily succeeds in destroying God's creation."

They forgot to mention the Dog Training!

Poor Siggie

So they are going to call it the Examiner?

What is so wrong nowadays with Der Sturmer?

You know what would cause this to make a really big splash?

A celebrity editor...
