What is The Spokesman-Review?
{{italictitle}} '''''The Spokesman Review''''' Is a [[newspaper]] based in [[Spokane, Washington|Spokane]], [[Washington (state)|Washington]], in the [[United States]]. It is a [[broadsheet]] newspaper, meaning it is a lot longer than it is wide. A new one is written every day. It is Spokane's only daily newspaper. ==History== ''The Spokesman-Review'' was started when two old newspapers merged (meaning they joined together to make one). Those newspapers were called ''Spokane Falls Review'' and ''Spokesman'', and they were merged in 1893. The first newspaper to be printed as ''The Spokesman-Review'' happened in June 29, 1894.<ref name='NFAE'>{{cite book | last = Dyar | first = Ralph E. | title = News for an Empire: The Story of the Spokesman-Review of Spokane, Washington, and of the Field It Serves | url = https://archive.org/details/newsforanempiret028402mbp | publisher = Caxton | year = 1952 | location = Caldwell, Idaho }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.spokesmanreview.com/125/125yr-story.asp |title=Bumpy beginning, but quite a ride |access-date=2008-01-01 |last=Kershner |first=Jim |date=May 19, 2007 |work=Spokesman-Review }}</ref> It used to published three different newspapers each day: one for Spokane, one for [[Spokane Valley]], and one for [[Idaho Panhandle|Northern Idaho]]. However, [[downsizing]] in 2007 caused ''The Spokesman-Review'' to only print one paper a day from then on. ''The Spokesman-Review'' is thought to [[left-leaning|lean]] [[Liberal]], especially when it involves opinions on [[Spokane City Hall|city hall]] and hate-groups in the [[Eastern Washington]]-[[Idaho Panhandle|Northern Idaho]] area. Those hate groups didn't like that. In 1997, three [[far right]] [[militants]] were convicted of bombing the Spokane Valley office of ''The Spokesman-Review''.<ref>[https://www.scribd.com/full/51626937?access_key=key-1b1s0eqlt27sxvfe2u98 AL-QAEDA AND THE PHINEHAS PRIESTHOOD TERRORIST GROUPS WITH A COMMON ENEMY AND SIMILAR JUSTIFICATIONS FOR TERROR TACTICS, A Dissertation by DANNY WAYNE DAVIS Su
