Seems like a biased source, from the Wikipedia page for Washington Times: “The first edition of The Washington Times was published on May 17, 1982. The newspaper was founded by Unification Church leader Sun Myung Moon, and it was owned until 2010 by News World Communications, an international media conglomerate founded by Moon. It is currently owned by Operations Holdings, which is a part of the Unification Church movement.“

Based on FEMA the article is full of lies: https://www.fema.gov/disaster/current/hurricane-helene/rumor...

It starts off small:

> “I haven’t seen any federal folks. I haven’t seen FEMA or local emergency crews. It’s just neighbor helping neighbor,” Mr. Loftis told The Washington Times

But checking... he's wrong and washington times did not bother to check and correct him?

https://www.fema.gov/press-release/20241003/biden-harris-adm...

Then continues and tries to link it to something political:

> FEMA spent more than $1 billion over the past two years, including $380 million allocated in late August, to help communities settle thousands of illegal immigrants

> The money was provided by Congress and signed into law by the president specifically to pay for housing and services for illegal immigrant

This is also wrong: https://www.fema.gov/disaster/current/hurricane-helene/rumor...

Then jumps to Trump quotes (nice path to trump, probably goal of article...) which I'm not even going to quote since they are absurd.

And some filler which nobody is going to read...

This is an interesting path to push propaganda and seems effective...

I found no disclaimers saying it's paid for...
