Uh Oh, Scaife children cite ‘enormous’ sums lost on his newspaper!

[yortsed snacilbuper]

Attorneys representing the children of Richard Mellon Scaife hope to recover nine-figure sums from the late publisher’s estate, because they believe part of it was drained in pursuit of the father’s emotion-fueled quest to defeat his newspaper’s competition.

Mr. Scaife’s “vehement dislike for the owners of the Post-Gazette caused him to spend enormous sums to fulfill his intention to put the Post-Gazette out of business,” wrote attorneys for the daughter, Jennie Scaife, in one of numerous related filings in Allegheny County Orphans Court on Thursday.

He pushed his agenda at a cost of $300 million, buying up most of the small papers in the area and turning them in to propaganda tools. The bile that spews from the 'Trib' is a total rehash of every right wing talking point since the New Deal. I hate to see anyone lose a job, but this rag needs put to bed
My goodness, they even put a RW spin on sports!!
