Check out this quote:
...said a... source who spoke on the condition of anonymity, for fear of reprisal.
A North Korean source? An operative inside China? A Pentagon whistleblower? Nah, it's an employee of The Washington Times speaking to The Washington Post about the firing of the church-owned paper's top editor. Sun Myung Moon is back as the owner of the paper after his son failed to run it at a profit, and fired the Editor on Friday.
I can see why newspapers and broadcasters would want to control the flow of information about themselves, but I'm always amused to see the same people who depend on people talking being so selective about who can say what.
How old is this Sun Yung Moon anyway? Is he really alive, or is he like Chairman Mao or the North Korean ruler (I forget his name) who might not exist?
ReplyDeleteRemember, Saddam Hussein had several men surgically altered as his "doubles."
I looked him up in Wikipedia. He was born Feb. 25, 1920--which makes him 90 years old.
ReplyDeleteAnd his birthday is one day after mine. Ack!!!
