I agree it's silly, but the PPG is really not the type of paper Hillary should be giving favors to. It is wingnut controlled ever since this guy took over, and the bulk of the good staff left the paper when it happened.
Shall we examine the corporate ownership structure of every newspaper Obama grants an interview? I refuse to do that, it is just plain silly, and smacks of censorship. Where does it stop? Should Clinton/Obama refuse to be interviewed by the WSJ? How about the WaPost, they are trending neocon these days. How about the NYT - does it depend who does the interview?
If they quote her accurately, and don't editorialize in the news story, why shouldn't they interview her? I would bet that she is willing to do an interview with the liberal Pittsburg paper, if they ask her.
Scaife is the guy that bankrolls many of the GOP think tanks, investigations of the Clintons, and even the whacked out conspiracy groups that said Bill Clinton had his old girlfriends murdered, and on and on.
He's a wingnut billionaire sugar daddy right up the with Sun Myung Moon.
Without Scaife, the GOP would not exist in its modern form.
For Democratic activists, this guy is Satan.
Clinton should've been impeached.
PPG is a special case, and I don't care about the ideology as much as the fact that all the quality staff is gone. It's gutted and not worthwhile as a news source.
