We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. Gigantic Boobs Daphne Is Attacked Fucked And Strangled By H. Secret Agent Captured Brutally Beaten And Fucked In Dungeon. The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. Superheroine Wonder Woman Bound And Humiliated By Fans. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.īut you know what? We change lives. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest.
