Plus, both of our statewide papers, the Louisville Courier-Journal and the Lexington Herald-Leader, haven't endorsed a Republican since McKinley. The Herald-Leader employs a creature named Joel Pett as its editorial page cartoonist. He made fun of Reagan's alzheimers -- and of course has won a pulitzer. There's money just waiting to be made by any publisher who will start up a conservative statewider paper.
TOTALLY IN AGREEMENT!
Before the takeoff of the Internet,I can recall a few publications here or there that at least tried to make it in print in this state. Usually, they are journals or bulletins put out by political interest groups, which is not a bad thing. Such was the case when I helped start both the Cardinal Review (U of L College Republicans) and the YR Review (Jefferson County Young Republicans). We will take conservative media any way we can get it. A couple that come to mind in Kentucky in the last decade were The Liberty Standard and Kentucky Christian News . As I recall, neither of them could sustain the costs of putting out statewide papers. One paper that I find interesting at this time is the Peasant's Press , which is distributed by Take Back Kentucky .
