5. The owners of the PPG (the Block family) are rightwingers and ChumpHumpers

Most of the editors and regular reporters are middle of the road, or liberal. But they have to do this "both-sider" stuff to please their bosses. If you look down at the bottom of the article, most of the readers' comments are pro-Shapiro and pro-Dem.

Occasionally the editorials written by the paper will criticize Chump, especially lately. But for the last 5 years they've been praising him up and down. I think they're slowly realizing that Chump isn't the future of the Repuke Party.

But the other newspaper in Pittsburgh is way worse. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review was owned by Richard Mellon Scaife (before he died) and it's a total right-wing rag. I won't even read it or click on it.
