While New York times is far better than the New York Post. And the Washington Post is far better than Washington times. They are all for profit ventures owned by thieving wealthy capitalists. They've always pushed their own perception and agenda. Whether or not we ever realized it. And that agenda has never been about sustainability, fairness, or accuracy. It's always been this way to one extent or another. It's just that the consolidation of ownership etc as made the market much less competitive and accountable.
I don't believe Washington Times is actually intended as a moneymaking endeavor. It's a weird little mouthpiece funded by the Unification Church. As a DC region native, I've seen them give that rag away at every opportunity and sell it at cost -- according to the Times itself, it lost a billion dollars over 33 years before turning a profit for the first time in 2015.
