Scoobie Davis had an interesting post recently on the connections between cult leader Sun Myung Moon, whose media empire “has branched out to right-wing talk radio with the recent establishment of the Washington Times America’s Morning News program” and the Talk Radio Network (TRN), the leading talk radio distributor. Davis reports “TRN was founded by zany cult leader and radio talk show host Roy Masters and is currently run by Masters’ son Mark.”

The co-hosts of the radio program are John McCaslin, a columnist and a former editor of the Washington Times, and veteran right-wing talker Melanie Morgan.

For more on Roy Masters as a purportedly “zany cult leader,” check out this ConWebWatch primer. The alliance between Moon’s media and the Masters’ Talk Radio Network is, in Unification Church terminology, a “perfect marriage,”Davis notes.
