The Post-Gazette is the far more liberal of Pittsburgh's two major newspapers. The other is the more balanced Tribune Review which was once a minor rival based in the eastern suburb of Greensburg.

Roughly a decade ago, it overtook the Post-Gazette in circulation and moved into the city. A couple of years ago, the Post-Gazette cried uncle and stopped doing a print edition. You still see an occasional television advertisement reminding people that they still publish an on-line edition.

Which is what makes this story so outrageously funny. Get woke, go broke. And it still isn't enough for these leftist jackals.

The Tribune Review even publishes a couple of their former columnists on their editorial pages to lend balance. I believe bow-tie boy George Will was the token conservative of the Post-Gazette when they did a print edition.

IIRC, Trib was a major player in Whitewater.

The Tribune-Review Publishing Company was owned by Richard Mellon Scaife, an heir to the Mellon banking, oil, and aluminum fortune, until his death in July 2014. Scaife was a major funder of conservative organizations, including the Arkansas Project.

You have it backwards. The Post Gazette still publishes a print edition (though I think they’re down to 3 days per week). The Tribune-Review ceased it’s print edition entirely and is now 100% online.

The Trib has moved way-left since Dick Scaife died. It’s now the work of brainwashed woke twentysomethings who remain on the skeleton staff.

That must have been when Will still provided a good and worth-while opinion and read.
