Isn’t the PG alleged to be drifting right?
They were accused of that when they
let cartoonist Rob Rogers go.
Rival Trib-Review online only though

It is cases like this that show the pendulum swinging back toward sanity.

Even the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette did not like McGovern in ‘72.

At least some still realize that you never stake your reputation so much as when you give someone an endorsement / recommendation.

Only a fool would back or vote for plugs just because he is demented let alone his politics.

They are following sentiment in this instance, not so influencing it. And for those yet undecided, it is not too late.

As a Pittsburgher who knows this is a left-wing paper, I am utterly shocked to hear this.

I’m sure yours is the majority opinion, but some of the commenters on Twitter think this is meaningless. We shall see...

Losing the hometown endorsement is kinda sad for Horseface Kerry isn’t it?
