DMN has been swinging Left for decades, ever since they bought out the competing paper. The paper has dwindles in size, dwindled from a major regionalper to a city rag, even endorsing liberal leftists for local office. Just the latest in the swing. I cancelled my subscription over a decade ago.
They’ve been struggling since they got caught fudging their circulation numbers and defrauding their advertisers. From their bylines these days, it looks like they’ve outsourced their local reporting to India and other third world countries.
One would be better off asking the Citizens Council to just email press releases and talking points directly to the consumer instead of running them through the DMN.
