Just to put in perspective who this fruitcake is:

NY Times: January 5, 1991
The New York City Tribune, a Monday-through-Friday newspaper founded by
the 
Rev. Sun Myung Moon in 1976, suspended publication yesterday. The paper's 
paid circulation, which reached a peak of 400,000 during the newspaper 
strike of 1978, had dwindled to 12,000, said Thomas D. Zumbo, the
associate 
editor. News World Communications, which owns The Tribune, described the 
suspension as a tem****ary "rest" forced by a poor economy.

The other 'Journal', 'Glasnost News & Review', rated no
mention when it began, nor when it went broke. But it
is clear that it was a channel for unfiltered Cold War
jibberish, news re****ts such as 'Russian ballpoints are
even splotchier than ours'.
