Some days ago I received a free copy of a 24 page full format 22 inch by 12 inch newspaper — containing no advertising -— ominously titled “The Epoch Times”. Glancing at headlines and stories I rapidly concluded that it is a very well designed vehicle for anti-Democratic pro-Republican propaganda, well designed in the sense that the tone is restrained and reasonable sounding.

I searched Daily Kos for references since February 1 and found only one article — an excellent diary by xaxnar on February 23. Xaxnar explained that it is indeed right wing and that it is an entity funded by Falun Gong.

Someone must have seriously deep pockets to send it out in volume. I find this run-up to the 2024 election rather concerning.
