The Pittsburgh Post Gazette has mostly left-leaning editorial staff (when they aren't straight middle of the road) however the Block family is always putting their thumb on the scale. For example the PPG editorial staff almost staged a walkout when the Blocks wanted to endorse Trump for President in 2016. They ended up endorsing neither candidate before the election and ran a bogus column about how both candidates were "good and bad."
In Pittsburgh we have to live with this because the only other daily paper is the Tribune Review, the rag that was formerly owned by Scaif. (The source of many rightwing nightmares that I won't go into now.)
I have to say I'm not surprised that the PPG endorsed Saccone, but if Lamb wins they'll probably walk it back like they usually do.
