message: One half of the original article, removed:
:before becoming a reporter in Toronto, Ontario at the Toronto Daily Star where he met Morley Callaghan.
Someone can Google on Toronto Daily Star, and Morley Callaghan and then write a proper entry, which had no business floating around in a stub on a paper in Kansas City.  The article should include something about their boxing match.  Ortolan88
:Don't mess with the KC Star, I was reading the thing for three month when I was there ;-) --Magnus Manske
The entire bit of gobbledegook about this paper being an organ for the Republicans should be removed.  The line about the paper only giving four lines when it won the Pulitzer Prize because of something about Republicans makes absolutely no sense.  The paper admittedly leans sharply to the left now for what it is worth.  Oddly, the original author of the page made no mention of that.137.1.212.12 09:03, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Who is Joe McDuff? I've never heard of him and can't find any info.--JustAGal 20:54, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Joe McDuff was a sports columnist and was on the MacNeil/Lehrer Report (I think). I'm surprised I can't find any reference via Google in its various web, newspaperarchive or print variations.  If properly written an article could be written.  I'm always annoyed when folks post those red links and then don't follow through.   Americasroof 03:01, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Does anyone remember in the early 70's when the Star took the contract carriers routes away from them in effect causing many of them to lost their jobs? The Star then became the contractor. Many of the contract carriers had purchased the routes and had loans on them and then lost everything. I'm trying to remember why the Star did this?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.23.244.107 (talk) 22:59, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

message: One could say the song is an homage to the paper.  That is how I saw it when it was played daily on the car radio on my way to work in Detroit upon arriving in the States "fresh off the boat" (in this case, a 707).  The best line is "better job and higher wages.."  hgwb (talk) 07:51, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

message: The Kansas City Star has often been described as a fairly liberal newspaper operating in an equally conservative State, the state of Missouri. The article should maybe explain the cultural and political issues surrounding the editorial policies of the Star newspaper. ADM (talk) 18:21, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

message: As a once Kansas Citian, I'm fairly certain that the printing facilities are no longer being used to print out of. There have been signs outside of it looking to intend to lease the building as office space. If anyone knows more information on the subject please mention it here as we might be able to update the current circumstances. Thank you all! Rep Author (talk) 19:38, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
