Is there no actual journalism practiced at The Philadelphia Inquirer?

It’s a pretty sad thing that I have come to check the Philadelphia Police Department’s Current Crime Statistics page every weekday morning.[1]The statistics are updated Monday through Friday only. Well, this is Monday morning, and the first of February, so we get the homicide statistics for the month of January. And an even fifty people […]

The Editors of The Philadelphia Inquirer blame the puppet, not the puppet master!

Sometimes you just have to laugh at the editors of The Philadelphia Inquirer. After years of rising homicide rates, they blame problems not on Mayor Jim Kenney, whom the Editors endorsed in his 2019 campaign, but on Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw, the ‘social justice’ policewoman from the left coast, and a near-total puppet of the […]

You cannot tell the truth in The Philadelphia Inquirer

Around 10:00 AM yesterday morning, I read the story Archdiocese of Philadelphia spins off Downingtown psychiatric center where pedophile priests were sent in The Philadelphia Inquirer, and I made two comments.

Will Bunch uses his Freedom of Speech and of the Press to tell us that he hates Freedom of Speech and of the Press

But even he ought to have seen the silliness in his Tuesday morning newsletter. Mr Bunch began with his very great concern that our “45th and soon-to-be 47th POTUS” would be cracking down on free […]

Bob Casey and his minions are desperately trying to cheat

We have been told, ever since the election of 2020, that no, of course not, there are no attempts to cheat on election results or vote counting! Pa. Supreme Court again rules that Philly and other counties cannot count undated mail ballots The ruling comes after several Philly-area counties defied the court’s previous guidance. The […]

You in a heap o’ trouble, boy!

No, of course The Philadelphia Inquirer didn’t publish Spencer Majett’s photo, but it wasn’t difficult to find. Man charged with murder of a bystander and shooting at cops, police say Spencer Majett is a suspect in the killing of 23-year-old Felicity Vanatta, a bystander who was fatally shot after an argument outside a Kensington deli […]
