We have previously mocked told our readers — both of them — that The Philadelphia Inquirer has informed us that: In Philadelphia, there are no gangs in the traditional, nationally known sense. Instead, they are cliques of young men affiliated with certain neighborhoods and families. The groups have names — Young Bag Chasers, Penntown, Northside […]
No, that’s not a typo in the headline. The spelling ‘journolist’ or ‘journolism’ comes from JournoList, an email list of 400 influential and politically liberal journalists, the exposure of which called into question their objectivity. I use the term ‘journolism’ frequently when writing about media bias. We have previously noted the murder of Everett Beauregard […]
Yup, I called it! So, since an “innocent” was killed, the @PhillyInquirer will cover the story, right? — Dana Pico (@Dana_TFSJ) September 22, 2022 I’ve said it before: The Philadelphia Inquirer doesn’t care about homicides in the City of Brotherly Love unless the victim is an ‘innocent,’ someone already of some note, or a cute little white girl. I noted […]
We noted, on Friday, how administrators at Central Bucks West High School have instructed teachers to use the names and sex indicated on a student’s records in the office, rather than go along with a ‘transgendered’ student’s chosen name and ‘gender’, unless the student’s parents discuss with and approve the use of the student’s preferred […]
We have noted, many times before, that The Philadelphia Inquirer censors the news because publisher Elizabeth ‘Lisa’ Hughes demands it. But it has to be asked: does their deliberate censorship actually reinforce the stereotype they are trying to avoid? ‘I’m grateful to be alive.’ Victim of West Philly rec center shooting heals as three accused […]
We have previously noted how the Central Bucks School District approved what The Philadelphia Inquirer called a “contentious” policy of not purchasing books with “sexualized content”. But the Inquirer’s Assistant Opinion Editor, Alison McCook, says that she wants her daughter to be able to read those books; does the Inky not pay her enough to […]
No, I didn’t misspell the word in the title: the spelling ‘journolist’ or ‘journolism’ comes from JournoList, an email list of 400 influential and politically liberal journalists, the exposure of which called into question their objectivity. I use the term ‘journolism’ frequently when writing about media bias. I have noted, many times, that black lives […]
One of my concerns when naming The First Street Journal was that I wanted to concentrate more heavily on economics, and, to be honest, The Main Street Journal name had already been taken, actually by more than one site. Mrs Pico suggested The Center Street Journal, which I considered, but, at the time we actually […]
This is not the first begging letter I have received from the Leftist Lenfest Institute for Journalism, the non-profit owner of The Philadelphia Inquirer, but it is as amusing as all of the others. I have frequently referred to our nation’s third oldest continuously published daily newspaper, in our nation’s sixth largest city and seventh […]
