Pittsburgh Tribune -Review

The Trib is horrible. They ruined the once anticipated weekly pennysaver. Now it’s just junk that goes right in the garbage. Their Sunday newspaper is horrible. Barely any ads, 1 thing of coupons. I get 2 things of coupons in the free mail on tuesdays. Only reason I get the paper is because I bought a groupon for Sunday papers. $ 12 for a year. Waste of money. 2^nd week receiving it. Tempted to cancel and say keep my money. Don’t need garbage dumped in my driveway every Sunday.

When you get a six month subscription that includes Thursday and Sunday papers, you can’t really complain.
The Thursday edition includes the entertainment guide and also the department store ads for the coming weekend. The Sunday edition is huge and includes the coupon section. If you use the coupons, one trip to the grocery store can pay for the entire subscription.
Overall a decent paper and worth the price when you get a subscription deal.

delivery is horrible since their change, do not subscribe! customer service is non responsive! will not fix issues with current subscribers, let alone new customers! avoid at all costs!! x

The «conservative» newspaper in a town where a Republican hasn’t been mayor since the 1930s. The «Trib» as we call it, was based out of Greensburg and worked its way into Pittsburgh when the Pittsburgh Press was on strike. Since the Post Gazette was also printed by the Pittsburgh Press, both newspapers were absent in Pittsburgh during the strike in 1992
Richard Mellon Scaife owns the Tribune Review, a known conservative, he pumps millions of dollars into the Trib to keep it afloat. During the newspaper strike of 1992, Scaife started printing the «Pittsburgh Tribune Review» as a way of bringing a conservative view to a city widely run by Democrats, after the strike, the Pittsburgh Post Gazette absorbed the Pittsburgh Press which would close its doors. Today Pittsburgh still has two daily papers with conflicting political views.
In 2006 the Trib printed an evening edition of the Tribune Review called the Trib PM. It was a free publication widely distributed throughout the city in corner boxes, supermarkets, and convenience stored. It contained breaking news after the morning edition went to print, sports, comics, stock market news, the latest obituaries and want ads. The Trib PM quietly went away without fanfare in early 2011.

Much better than Pravda, er the Gazette.

Well I’m wayyy left of center, which is why yuppies tend to hate me, so…
Any paper that runs columns from the unfortunate Michele Malkin and boorish culture cop Brent Bozell isn’t fit for cats to shit on.
Someone at work gets the Trib and brings it in. I sometimes pour through it to find my righteous radical anger, and it does the trick.
Their society page makes me want to vomit! People wonder why I call myself a socialist. This is but one reason.
Their local coverage isn’t very good either. It appears to be there merely to fill space, disguising their right-​wing agenda.

There really is no such thing as a «liberal media.» Know that.

I wouldn’t pay attention to the Trib’s news coverage, since it’s mostly far-​right propaganda. Two stars for their decent sports coverage — Mike Prisuta and Joe Starkey are worth reading.

Jason, you are right on the money! Scaife is part of the ultra-​right-​wing bunch. I certainly don’t bemoan an individual’s right to his/​her politics (I’ll admit I’m a little left-​of-​center), but this Scaife guy makes Rupert Murdoch look like Al Gore. And your tabloid comments are oh, so true.
I do give it two stars because its… oh, wait a minute… can’t think of a reason for two stars. So I’ll just give it one!
