“Same thing happened to the Indianapolis Star. Until the mid-90s, it was a staunchly conservative paper. Then Gannett came along..”
Gannett bought our local fishwrap about a decade ago, and it went from a little left wing to horrible left wing. They used left wing editorials from their left wing newspapers and headquarters and tried to pass them on as a local editorial. That is what appears to have been done at this newspaper.
A bunch of us cancelled our subscriptions, and we let the local merchants know that they were wasting their ad money buying ads in a newspaper that no one wanted.
The fish wrap was bought out, and the new owners seem to try for fair balance.
