I wonder if they get into the Moonie "World Daily News" of Tokyo. Much like the Washington Times, it was seen by the church as a strategic base -- and punished editors who strayed from the Unification Church's line. One editor, Soejima Yoshikazu, resigned and wrote a 1984 tell-all article, "This is the Secret of the Unification Church." He was promptly stabbed by an unknown assailant. It also allied itself with right-wing politicians in the Japanese Diet and promoted slogans like "exporting weapons is moral" in the 1980s. Yikes.
