It’s disgusting to see the St. Louis Post-Dispatch join the right wing effort to poison the well and smear a dead 18-year old.

Does anyone know the political leanings of this newspaper?

They might not be ‘joining’ the right wing effort as they are already a part of it. I’m thinking with the political leanings on display in that state, they may well be a very conservative leaning paper and willing to trash Brown to help out your typical law and order conservative thinking.
