re: #194 BeachDem

Oh yeah, I’ll definitely back you on the Dispatch being right-leaning—The paper’s last endorsement of a Democrat as a Presidential candidate, was for the re-election of Woodrow Wilson in 1916.

I found this interesting article about the Wolfe history—it was like a stroll down memory lane with Gene D’Angelo stories etc. (brought back some great parties at the Wigwam back in the days!)

Oops—forgot the link

I didn’t know this— from wiki On June 16, 2015, the Dispatch ceased to be the last major family-owned newspaper in the United States when it was purchased by the New Media Investment Group. Wonder if that will change things.

Yeah, I had heard about them being bought out.

I have a friend who works there. He might be replaceable. He was almost cut a few years back. He refused to talk about what happened, but it must not have been good, as he went into a shell and has more or less dropped out of the groups of friends I have had for years.

His father was great friends with Preston Wolfe. He thought he had an in for life. Then his father died and then Wolfe died and there went his connections.

Thanks for the link. I’ll be checking that out. I imagine it is a softball article since they owned Columbus Monthly.
