An advertising campaign designed to bring attention to the joining of two Scranton area newspapers has instead focused attention on the relationship between the newspapers' publishers and Bob Casey, Jr., according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
One of the ads, appearing on TV, pamphlets, billboards and buses in Northeast PA, shows an 'old' paper with the headline 'Casey to Run for Senate'...only one problem. The headline never actually appeared in the paper. In fact, the managing editor of the new Scranton Times-Tribune has even admitted to making up the headline. The result: Bob Casey gets free publicity for an article that never was.
Could it be just a coincidence that the publishers of the paper were shown to have given $120,000 to Bob and Pat Casey's campaigns over the years?
