I've provided a few cites verifying my understanding of the ownership of the Times Leader, a couple other posters have chimed in further confirming that information, and you're offering up "a hunch"?
I'm going to have to ask you for something a bit more tangible than that, please.

I can see the connections you make between the Doherty and Lynett families as being valid, and I'll agree that the Times-Tribune is very slanted in its operations, but I'm happy to report that the Times-Leader remains the metro's only independently-owned and operated newspaper (for now at least).
As far as Pilchesky is concerned, I'll give him another shot. If I try to once again register under the user name of "ScrantonWilkesBarre" and am denied, then I'll stick to my guns in asserting that this man is a liar for touting his web site's "open" registration policy. If I'm not denied, then perhaps he is a man of his word after all. As you can recall, he and one of his minions, "BigBuddy", were banned after the latter dug up very personal information about my extended family and posted it onto the forum. I've held a grudge against both he and his forum ever since, especially after I saw a few other replies on DohertyDeceit shortly after their banishment on this forum regarding myself and a few others. You can attack me as much as you want, as I'm probably worthy of all the vitriol they want to spew towards me. However, don't you f-ing dare mess with my family or try to belittle them or else the gloves are off!

Paul beware.....if you do not think that Janet Evans is the second coming of Christ and that Judy Gatelli is Satan incarnate, you will be ridiculed over there and more than likely banned. I'm not a fan of Chris Doherty either (although I do not think he deserves the juvenile harrassment he's received at DD.com, I would just rather vote him out of office), but there's only so much of that site that I can take. There is some truth over there, but unfortunately its buried in mounds of crap.

You didn't see the black helicopters with the University of Scranton and Scranton Times logos on the side?
