There are glaring exceptions, of course, with MSNBC being leftie-leaning news and FOX being right-wing (often broadcasting these days as a Tea Party commercial).<b> The Moonies owning controlling interest in the Washington Post didn't help or hurt the paper's ability to break open the Watergate Scandal, for example. </b><!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
The Moonies don't own the Washington Post. They own the Washington Times which wasn't created until the 1980s. Otherwise, The Washington Times didn't break the Watergate Scandal.
Considering the rationale for the paper was to answer stories in the Washington Post, such as Watergate, this ownership group has considerable control over editorial content. You can included them in the Fox News and MSNBC category.
