With 2500 more Wheeling Intelligencer words on the Ohio senate race, West Virginians should be well-informed and ready-to-vote
Except . . . .
Last week, the Wheeling (WV) Intelligencer provided us with 800 words on the views of the Ohio Republican candidates for senate, JD Vance, and the Democratic candidate, Tim Ryan. (Additionally, the paper also published 1,800 words on the Ohio gubernatorial race.) Yesterday’s paper gave us 2,500 more words on the Vance/Ryan contest. That’s . . .
Yesterday and today, the Wheeling Intelligencer devoted almost 5,000 words to cover two important elections
Unfortunately for West Virginians, the races are in Ohio
Today’s Wheeling (West Virginia) Intelligencer dedicated over 1800 words to the Ohio governor’s race and almost 800 words to the battle for Ohio’s senate seat. This was in addition to the 2000 words on the governor’s race in yesterday’s paper in which, like today, the candidates for Ohio governor answered questions submitted by the Sandusky . . .

As a Dad, i know how helpless Joe Biden must have felt, but his love is unquestioned.
As a human, . . .

What’s up with West Virginia’s senators?
“Common ground” Joe and Shelley the distinguished lecturer
Senator Manchin keeps looking for common ground and bipartisanship with Republicans. Don’t look now, Senator, but you’ve become the common ground

Answer: a large picture of a tractor, a WVU press release, yet another Ohio editorial along with one admonishing us to take driving seriously, and a syndicated columnist on why Giorgia Meloni is not a fascist
Question: What's in the morning paper?
The front page
Half the page is taken up by a story with two pictures of the upcoming Oglebayfest. (A picture of a park tractor takes up a fourth of the page.)
Also on the front page is something from ”staff reports” that is actually a word-for-word PR release from West Virginia University detailing President E. Gordon Gee’s . . .
McConnell and most Republicans refused to support Manchin’s energy deregulation bill
So, who does today’s Wheeling News-Register blame? Democratic leaders Schumer and Pelosi, of course
Earlier this week, WV’s Democratic senator, Joe Manchin, pulled his energy bill from consideration after it became clear that it would not reach the 60 votes needed for passage. Here is how Politico headlined it:
