And don't forget Bill Gertz on Defense issues. Many, many scoops.

Several friends of mine, professional journalists and very liberal sorts, regularly read the Washington Times.

They are all impressed with the coverage (especially of defense, intelligence, and foreign affairs), and give the paper credit for digging out scoops and exclusives.

I remember being floored the first time I heard some of these folks praising the paper.

When I was in school in DC I usually bought the Times because it was cheaper as much as the tilt of the op-ed pages.

Couple those two factors together today along with the intel and foreign policy coverage mentioned by Dr. Joyner and you have what is probably the recipe for their success.

You can't just tie it to the assumed Republican administration (or Congress) spike the Post used to chalk up rising Times circulation to.

On my corner here at 13th & L NW, the WashTimes box is generally empty by noon and the USAToday and WashPost boxes have remainders in the late afternoon; usually, but not always.
