Salena's online bio:

http://blog.triblive.com/forty-fourth-estate/

Just what Democratic candidates did she ever work for? It doesn't tell us, does it?

More of Salena's Twitters:

Do these look like the postings of a moderate? And note how she buys into the Trib "skyrocketing circulation" illusion.

Don't kid yourself. Dick Scaife may not micromanage every single aspect of the Trib equally. But there are few areas where any publisher exercises more control than the editorial page and columnists, especially in his case. That's why so many Scaife-approved Heritage Foundation puppets spout unreadable rants on the Trib editorial page. She'd not be there if he didn't approve.
