Wash. Times highlighting its "cultural coverage based on traditional values"

December 03, 2009 12:48 pm ET by Morgan Weiland

Best graph from the Washington Times' press release announcing "changes to refocus its position as a provider of vital information and insight to readers in the nation's capital, across the country and around the world":

News focused on strengths. The Washington Times news operation will operate in a highly focused manner, investing in Washington Times' well-established core strengths that include exclusive reporting and in-depth national political coverage, enterprise and investigative reporting, geo-strategic and national security news, and cultural coverage based on traditional values. 

Shorter WT: We will go back to putting "gay marriage" in scare quotes.

      Oh, goody... "Traditional Values". Codespeak for "Theocratic Moralism and Bigotry".

      They had to do something. Liberal media outlets are going broke while conservative media is thriving. It's all business over at the WT.
