I Guess It’s “Red” In the Tim Russert Sense
Jump to Comments
Some of us were very confused by the Star’s endorsement of Jon Kyl. The Star had been editorializing positions that were counter to everything Kyl is campaigning on, so it didn’t make any sense for them to go ahead and endorse the guy.
The rumor that has been making the rounds in journalistic circles is that the editorial board was ready to endorse Jim Pederson, but the publisher, John Humenik, who had up until December working at the syndicate’s home state of Iowa, made the decision to endorse Kyl at the behest of Lee Enterprises. So much for local control.
So, at what point to Republicans stop calling it the “Red Star”?

They’ll stop calling it the “Red Star” about the time they stop making constant charges of “liberal media bias”. That is to say, never. It’s called working the refs.
