The Poynter Institute for Media Studies is a non-profit school for journalism located in St. Petersburg, Florida. The school is the owner of the Tampa Bay Times newspaper.

The paper is owned by a journalism school, a non-profit no less. That explains a lot.

Poynter is brainwashing future “journalists”. It is a liberal, Marxist school for “journalism”.

I believe Poynter was the founder of the left leaning St. Petersburg Times (aka known as "Pravda On The Bay").

The St. Petersburg Times then morphed into the Tampa Bay Times and drifted further left.

They then expanded distributorship outside St. Petersburg into the Tampa area across the bay.

Eventually they bought their competition, the centrist/conservative Tampa Tribune, and shut it down.

Thn they tripled the price of their delivery subscription.

Now the 3 million residents of the Tampa Bay area have only one major newspaper - the far left Tampa Bay Times.
