Here is a link to the New Pittsburgh Courier. Not sure when their news goes online.
Confirmed via DeSantis press release, and by a report on KDKA News Radio AM 1020, h/t CapitolMAN.

Wait, Do you meant that now 4 newspapers have seen through the Mayor's crap and are endorsing DeSantis?
ReplyDeleteI have been waiting to see who the Courier endorsed.
ReplyDeleteTo me, this seems like a big one. Maybe not the biggest, but I would say bigger than the Pitt News.
(No offense to the Pitt News and all, just thinking of the communities they serve.)
I'm withholding my vote until I know which candidate has obtained the coveted endorsement of "The New People."
ReplyDeleteThis means lots in the eyes of the black community.
ReplyDeleteThe way I read into this is: The Democrat is so bad we picked a Republican.
"The New People" is a reference that I recognize from an issue of Flaming Carrot.
ReplyDeleteOr is there something that I'm missing here?

ReplyDelete- Lets not forget that the Courier also endorsed Rick Santorum
The Courier may have endorsed Rick Santorum, but they also endorsed Ed Rendell over Lynn Swann. As for the Santorum endorsement, here's what they had to say:
ReplyDelete"In Santorum, we have a politician who complains that his message isn’t reaching Black voters, and in Casey, we have a politician who hasn’t even tried... we have heard next to nothing from Casey, and because of that, we cannot endorse him. Though we are quite concerned that Santorum has been the poster child for a wing of the Republican Party that has been anathema to Blacks, we endorse Rick Santorum in this race."
Not exactly a ringing endorsement of Santorum. Read the whole thing here: http://newpittsburghcourieronline.com/articlelive/articles/36382/1/EditorialOur-election-endorsements/Page1.html.
Flaming Carrot? Are you talking about Kathy Griffin?
ReplyDelete"The New People" is a monthly rag published by the Thomas Merton Center.
I don't think the spin on this is going to amount to a hill of beans. Courier readers are going to know quite well what to do with the endorsement of their Courier.
ReplyDeleteThe Courier has always been a Republican-leaning paper.
ReplyDeleteNo, the Flaming Carrot is a (quite surreal in a "Krazy Kat" kinda way) comic written and drawn by Bob Burden that's put out from time-to-time over the past, oh, 25 years or so. The "Mystery Men" of "Myster Men" movie (non)fame originally sprang from this comic.
ReplyDeleteKathy Griffin never did it for me. The little redhead who played Beth on News Radio is another matter, but I digress.
