Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review is an American newspaper, and the third largest newspaper in the state of Pennsylvania. Its publisher is Richard Mellon Scaife and is generally considered a conservative newspaper.
One of the most famous incidents for the paper was the "Shove it" incident in July 2004, during the American presidential campaign. The paper's editorial page had been carrying columns highly critical of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry's wife Teresa Heinz. The paper had previously falsely accused Heinz Kerry of having a lesbian affair and funding violent Islamist groups.
At a July 26 speech at the Massachusetts State House, the Tribune-Review editorial page editor Colin McNickle had an exchange of words with Heinz, where she subsequently told him, "You're from the Tribune-Review— understandable. You said something I didn't say. Now shove it." The comment received wide attention in the media.

The paper had never accused Heinz Kerry of having a lesbian affair. An op-ed column printed by the paper, but from an outside group, suggested that some money donated by Heinz Kerry had reached a number of groups outside the mainstream, including organizations advocating violence against the United States.
