I'm a longtime subscriber to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, despite their rah-rah MAGA tone.

I can remember the days when the PPG editorials were reliably pro-Dem, pro-Union, and pro-liberal but that was long ago. The paper endorsed Chump twice, and back in 2016 they refused to endorse Hillary Clinton but didn't go the full way and endorse Chump the first time. Long story short, the ultra-conservative owners of this newspaper have pissed off so many subscribers in the past 10 years that there isn't enough of a subscriber base anymore.

Funny thing though, the few Republicans living in this area seem to think of the PPG as being a "liberal" newspaper, but we liberals all know better. The main value of the newspaper has become news stories about the Steelers, Pirates and Penguins, not much else.
