The
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, under orders from
publisher Richard Mellon Scaife, pulled all pictures of
Al Gore on the Sunday before the election, rewrote an
Associated Press dispatch to play down any mention of the
vice president and bumped the story of a local Gore rally inside the paper.
Scaife is a conservative philanthropist who helped finance the American Spectator's investigations of President Clinton.
The rival Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, which reported the move, said the Tribune-Review's managing editor protested but that Scaife overruled him.
Just another example of the liberal media.
