- In 1828, the paper was sold to Morgan Neville, and the name briefly changed to Pittsburgh Gazette and Manufacturing and Mercantile Advertiser. In 1829, Neville sold the paper to David McClean, who reverted to the former title. In 1844, the paper became a morning daily paper. Although the paper's editorial stance at the time was conservative, the paper was credited with helping to organize a local chapter of the new Republican Party, and with contributing to the election of Abraham Lincoln. The paper was one of the first to suggest tensions between North and South would erupt in war. After a consolidation of papers in 1866, the paper was again renamed and was then known as the Commercial Gazette. In 1900, George T. Oliver acquired the paper, merged it with another paper (The Pittsburgh Times) and formed a new paper, The Gazette Times. After several more mergers of newspapers in Pittsburgh, including the Dispatch, publisher Paul Block bought the paper in 1927 and it became the Post-Gazette on August 2.
- The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is a Liberal (Communist) rag, that serves Western Pennsylvania. Avoid this excuse for a newspaper, because it only prints Communist propaganda. Pittsburgh used to have two newspapers!

But I digress) So anyway although there were two newspapers, they operated jointly using the same facilities. This led to great hilarity when in 1992, commie pinko workers for both the Press and Post-Gazette went on strike. This led to three events. 1) By the time the strike ended the owners of the Press had sold to the owners of the Post-Gazette, thus leaving that homeschooled nogoodnik kid out of a job (ha-ha!) 2) During this time period the Greensburg based Tribune Review (aka Trib) owned by Real American Andrew Mellon Scaife entered the Pittsburgh Market as a proud Scab newspaper, which even to this day is bought by people who are busy being Real Americans or cannot resist the Trib because "It's just so damned cheap!" 3) For the period of the strike local TV news took over the role of the obituaries normally published by running the "Death Notices". This was a cause of much levity in households with immature children. This article is a stub. You can get a Tip of the Hat* from Stephen by adding only truthiness to it.*Tip of the Hat not guaranteed.
