New UPI editor's journalism oath to Rev. Moon
As you may recall, United Press International was the home of legendary reporter Helen Thomas until it was bought by the Moonies in 2000. Now, the editors of Rev. Moon's publications claim a Christian Science Monitor-ish separation between church and newspaper. But today, UPI has announced that its new editor is to be Michael J. Marshall, who used to run Moon's The World and I, and, well...

Cut to May, 2003, in a "Workshop on Journalism and Media." Your host: media mogul Rev. Moon (we are not exactly talking about the Poynter Institute). The following scene, transcribed here at a Unification Church website, occurs. Moon is ticking off the seven reasons he's the Messiah, and talking about how to get the word out in the press, when suddenly... (scroll down)

REV. MOON (addressing Marshall)
Are you with World and I? Can you follow what I'm saying, do what I'm saying, the contents? For how long?

MICHAEL MARSHALL, EDITOR
I will commit to follow forever.

REV. MOON
Forever, for life. Great.


And from another Moon speech, Nov. 30, 2000 in Brazil, more UPI fun.

"Now, the best way to become famous will be to write articles about Rev. Moon. The media organization that employs the reporters who write such articles and publishes them will be respected around the world. UPI was purchased just as it was about to collapse, and it is being supported now. UPI can write such articles. In a few years, if they keep this up until 2003, then everything will be finished."

let us not forget the power Moon holds over us

And the GOP pretends it's not related to what Gertz writes. HAH.
