How is this news?

From the Washington Times:

TOP STORIES

Bush, Chirac tell Syria to leave Lebanon

End of story for Hunter Thompson

Group justified by report on Soviet POWs

Virginia Senate panel kills House prayer measure

The time is now to start on your taxes

But while the legacy media – and I include the Washington Times – may harbor pretensions of objectivity, they reveal their true character on a daily basis to those who bother to pay attention.
