More About The Washington Times Front Page 

As someone who used to work in the news industry, I know that all news organizations have some sort of bias. It just comes with being human, which is why I tried to listen to a couple of news podcasts every day to make sure I’m getting the full picture. All sides.com puts the Washington Times newspaper as “leaning right”, which I interpret as center, right on their media bias.

I love going into local bookstores. It is one of my favorite things to hold the books and smell the books and just be around other book lovers. But right now that is very difficult to accomplish with three littles. So, I use bookshop.org to help support the local bookstores so that someday when it’s easier to get to a local bookstore for me, they will still be.

Bookshop.org is a great way for you to buy books online, but also support local bookstores. You can find a specific local bookstore that you would like to support, and they will receive the full profit off of your order, or your order will contribute to an earnings pool that will be evenly distributed among independent bookstores.
