This is unbelievable! The PUBLISHER over-ruled the editorial staff! If someone isn't in someone else's pocket here, I don't know what...

I take back any slack I might have previously cut newspapers...

Unreal...Once again, he who owns the press TRUMPS editorial democracy.

For anyone who knows anything about the Cleveland Plain Dealer, this is the equivalent of down=up!

Remember this name...Alex Machaskee.

That's pretty good. Once Kerry was the Dem's choice, there was an article in either the Scene or Free Times that stated that the editor of the PD Doug Clifton wanted to endorse Bush on the spot. Don't have the article anymore and there's a possibility that it could have been a load of crap since nothing ever became of it.

The Plain Dealer's credability was shot ages ago. That the endorsement got postponed is rather surprising. I guess we'll know for certain in a few short hours.

Sounds like the Kerry campaign screwed the pooch.
