A local Minnesota newspaper placed its report on former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty ® formally jumping into the 2012 presidential race right next to the obituaries.
snip
Another local Minnesota paper, City Pages, began an item on the St. Paul Pioneer Press's placement of the Pawlenty story by saying, "Tim Pawlenty's presidential campaign is Dead on Arrival."

Here's the page:

Oh, that Minnesota humor.........



From the Comments:

I'm sure the editors had a good laugh at that one! ZING! HAHA…what's that? Our circulation numbers are through the floor and our parent company just posted another quarterly loss? What's that you say? They are downsizing the newspaper operations? How will my family eat? Well lib dummy, maybe you should've thought of that in a market economy where people are free to vote with their feet at your childish games.

What's the Pioneer Press' circulation? And how does it compare to what it was 10 years ago? My guess is they probably ought to be a little conservative about writing anybody else's obits.

Not in anyway surprising

 

Pioneer Press is like Human Events when compared to the Star Tribune...or as we call it the Red Star Tribune.

Valin, here its the Denver Pravda.

 

They have a progressive special features writer [Mike Littwin] that I call Mike Nitwit. Up until a few months ago, his column used his college pic, when he had a kinky mullet.
