Leans right
Summarized from more than one independent rater, including AllSides and Ad Fontes Media. We do not rate outlets ourselves.
Founded in 1982 by Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church and still owned by an entity connected to it. It was created explicitly as a conservative counterweight to the Washington Post.
For four decades it has given conservative Washington a daily paper of its own, and it covers the defense and national security beats seriously. Critics point to its founding purpose, to sustained losses covered by its religious backers for most of its existence, and to opinion content that has at times run well past the mainstream right.
