This Day in History: The Unification Church (also known as the Moonies) was founded in South Korea, by Sun Myung Moon, on this day in 1954, under the name Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity (HSA-UWC).
The "Moonies" over the years have accumulated wealth and in time established News World Communications, an international news media conglomerate which publishes The Washington Times newspaper.
The Washington Times is not the only media company backed by an Asian religious movement. The Epoch Times is affiliated with the Falun Gong new religious movement.
Now, before you ridicule the fact that these right wing news organizations are connected to these odd sects, consider that much of the rest of the mainstream media is backed by the Chinese Communist Party.
China's propaganda outlet China Daily paid millions to prominent US newspapers and magazines in the last six months to buy media influence..."A Chinese Communist Party-controlled news outlet paid major newspapers and magazines over $1.95 million between November and April to run advertisements stylized as news stories." Source
China Daily, controlled by the Chinese Communist Party, paid more than 4.6 million dollars to The Washington Post and nearly USD 6 million to The Wall Street Journal since November 2016.
Other leftist media outlets are funded by George Soros, and the mainstream media in Canada is funded and bailed out by the Liberal government.
Oh, and if you want real media bias, read the Wikipedia entries for both the Epoch Times and the Washington Times.
