The Garden State legalized pot, so now The Philadelphia Inquirer is lamenting that not enough of New Jersey’s drug dealers are black! New Jersey has few Black-owned marijuana dispensaries. A banker-turned-budtender is about to open one. Tahir Johnson is preparing to open Simply Pure Trenton in his hometown of Ewing Township. by Nick Vadala | […]
It looks like Philadelphia Inquirer suburban reporter Vinny Vella is going to get called onto the carpet in Executive Editor and Senior Vice President Gabriel Escobar’s office: he referred to “gang” rather than “street group”! Then again, it wasn’t his first offense. A group of Philly teens stole nearly 20 guns from a Bucks County […]

But has the Inky been making innocents of victims who might not fit into that category quite so well. As […]
We reported on Wednesday about the terrible job that Philadelphia’s Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw has done, not on the crime numbers, though those are certainly important, but on managing and leading the Department. But while leaders are normally called into account for the big things, it’s the little things that frequently don’t get noticed, but […]
I will admit to being stunned, and I’m sure that columnist Will Bunch must be grinding his teeth in anger, but the Editorial Board of the Philadelphia Inquirer, who previously endorsed former Controller Rebecca Rhynhart McDuff for the Democratic nomination for Mayor are calling “progressive” candidate Helen Gym Flaherty to account: Helen Gym’s plans for […]
