It's been over a week since news broke that OPUBCO — including The Oklahoman — was being acquired by ultra-billionaire Philip Anschutz. So far, not much has changed at the Joke. The paper is still being printed, the editorial page is still conservative and Steve Lackmeyer is still obsessed with food trucks.
To mark this historical change in ownership, The Oklahoman published a series of articles that will surely get the paper some PRSA Silver Anvil award nominations. They profiled Philip Anschutz with a very nice article that went out of its way to not mention any of the wacko conservative foundations and anti-gay groups he's funded. They also didn't write a thing about him being Lee Corso's long-lost brother.
