http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/opinion/archive/s_563322.htmlIts now official. Today, Richard Mellon-Scaife's personal mouthpiece, the Tribune-Review, endorsed Hillary. This is Hillary's only endorsement by a commercial newspaper in Pennsylvania. Obama has been endorsed by every other newspaper that has made an endorsement, including 5 of the 6 largest papers.
Scaife is a billionaire who was the main funding source of many extreme right wing groups. He also funded most of the attacks on the Clinton administration in the 1990s. Hillary met personally with him to seek his endorsement, but refused to meet with the San Francisco Chronicle's Editorial Board.
