About Me



The Washington Times was established in 1982, one year after The Washington Star ceased publication. At a time when the new Reagan administration was finding its way in an often hostile capital city, The Times quickly established itself as an independent and influential voice that was willing to break the stories that the dominant Washington Post was not.
By its second year of publication, the Associated Press listed The Times as the third most widely-quoted newspaper in the nation. President Reagan let it be known that The Washington Times was the first newspaper he read every morning. The Times was must reading for his successors as well, including former President Clinton and now President Bush.
The implications of this aggressive and competitive presence in the press arena of the nation's capital have been far-reaching. The hundreds of bureau chiefs of American and foreign publications based in Washington, DC have since 1982 had more than one menu from which to select their leads. The House Banking Scandal, the Whitewater investigation and the threat of nuclear proliferation by rogue states are among the many stories The Times played a key role in bringing to the light of day.
Calling itself "America's Newspaper," The Times' editors make it a point not to mock the values of it readers. Editor in Chief Wesley Pruden often says he seeks the return of the days when newspaper people didn't put on airs and simply sought "to get the news first and get it right."
"At The Times we understand the enormous power of honest and hard-hitting reporting, the poetry of plain and straightforward language when it enlists in the cause of delivering information that people want and can actually use," Mr. Pruden said in a recent speech.
"We understand how words can both sing and sting, and move men and women to great deeds and occasionally move them to regret and even to repentance, especially when their reckless misdeeds are spread out across the top of Page One."
Now in its 25th year of publication, The Times has won hundreds of awards and has seen its circulation increase year after year at a time when the circulations of virtually all other major newspapers across the land are in decline. Since beginning publication in June 1994, the National Weekly Edition of The Times has been growing steadily. We invite you to subscribe to our increasingly popular National Weekly Edition.

Pollsters at a loss to explain win by Hillary in N.H.

Embarrassed pollsters were still trying to figure out on Jan. 9 why their polls, showing Barack Obama beating Hillary Rodham Clinton, were way off the mark in New Hampshire’s Democratic primary. Some of the biggest names in measuring and predicting public opinion, from Gallup to Zogby, were alternately contrite, confused and candid about what went wrong in their assessments for New Hampshire’s Democratic vote. It turned out they were off by five to 13 points or more. Continue…Unpaid bills halt wiretaps by FBI
FBI wiretaps used in undercover investigations, including those aimed at deterring terrorist attacks and foreign intelligence threats, have been cut off by telephone companies because of the bureau’s repeated failure to pay its phone bills on time, a government audit said Jan. 10.U.S. satellites dodge debris from China weapon test

My, how a little “change” can change things. Barack Obama learned to be careful what he prays for. He prayed in both prose and poesy for change, and he got some. Continue…For paid subscribers:

From our best-selling author and reporter Bill Gertz: Enemies

Taking advantage of gaping holes in America’s defenses, terrorist organizations and enemy nations like Communist China, North Korea, Russia, and Cuba—not to mention some so-called friends—are infiltrating the U.S. government to steal our most vital secrets and use them against us. And most astonishing of all, our leaders are letting it happen.
In the explosive new book Enemies, acclaimed investigative reporter Bill Gertz uncovers the truth about this grave threat to our national security and America’s harrowing failures to address the danger. Gertz’s unrivaled access to the U.S. intelligence and defense communities allows him to tell the whole shocking story, based on previously unpublished classified documents and dozens of exclusive interviews with senior government and intelligence officials. He takes us deep inside the dark world of intelligence and counterintelligence—a world filled with lies and betrayal, spies sleeping with enemy spies, and moles burrowing within the FBI, the CIA, the Pentagon, and even the White House.
Delivering the kind of shocking new information that led Washington Monthly magazine to declare him “legendary among national security reporters,“ Bill Gertz opens our eyes as never before to deadly threats and counterintelligence failures that place every American at risk. America’s enemies, including terrorist organizations, are stealing our most vital secrets to use against us—and the U.S. government makes it shockingly easy for them to do so. Filled with headline-making revelations from acclaimed reporter Bill Gertz, Enemies reveals the frightening untold story of the War on Terror.
