So looking closer, The Washington Times was founded by Sun Myung Moon, who also founded the Unification Church (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Washington_Times)). The Washington Times was the one to first break the counter narrative trying to explain away pizzagate as a bogus conspiracy theory with statements made by Alefantis on record (http://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/nov/22/james-alefantis-dc-power-player-blasts-insane-redd/)). With the revelation that Pegasus Museum was previously owned by members/associates of the Unification Church, is it likely they are using the Times as means of saving face? There have been several shakeups at the Times, including this one in 2009 (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/11/09/AR2009110902529.html?wprss=rss_business/localbusiness)) which removed chairmen who were leaders of the Unification Church. Is there anything that occurred around this time that could lend explanation for their removal?
