SW Pa DU Members, the Pittsburgh Post Gazette is no longer....

[strongermessage]

an independent thinking newspaper. The editorial board endorsed Toomey and ran an editorial that neither endorsed Trump or Hillary, but that was hyper-critical of Hillary. And now, the moderators on the forums that allow responses to letters to the editor, editorials, etc... are deleting comments from progressives, while allowing right-wing extremists to say what they want. At one point, the PG was a viable alternative to the Scaife owned Tribune-Review, but the tables have turned. If you live in Southwestern Pennsylvania, vote with your wallet and do not subscribe to the fallacy of what was once an objective source of news.

I looked at an editorial and a news story and didn't see any comments. Possibly they stopped reader comments. A number of sites have done so, rather than spending the money to moderate the poo flinging.
