The San Diego Union-Tribune to advise GOP candidates

[sufrommich]

Now here's some news from the nexus of politics and media: The "anti-big government, anti-tax, and anti-gay marriage" San Diego Union-Tribune is hosting a media-training event for state Republican candidates, including lessons in “how to get noticed by the press, how to craft a press release” and -- wait for it -- how to get the endorsement of the largest paper in the city, the San Diego Union-Tribune.

Via the Los Angeles Times' PolitiCal blog:


The Republican Party of San Diego County sent out the invite to the event, which will be held on Tuesday night at the paper’s headquarters (business attire requested). County GOP chairman Tony Krvaric will also be on hand for the festivities.

The invite promises a tour of the paper’s newsroom and television studio, a chance to meet the company’s chief executive and the paper’s editor and a chance to learn more about the paper, which is referred to as “a one-stop shop for candidates.”

Calls to Chief Executive John Lynch’s office were not immediately returned.

A receptionish in the Union Tribune's newsroom told POLITICO that there was "nobody here today who can comment on that," given that it was a Saturday.

2. It was in the shitter long before that

The Copleys gave that whackjob Joseph Perkins a lot of space to blather on for years.

The U-T can be relied on to support the Republican presidential candidate, now matter how unworthy.
