I'm afraid I don't know what you are talking about. No such article or quote has appeared in the Philadelphia Inquirer that I am aware of.

Of course, she is well aware of the underlying story, but she's parsing her way out of that one.

Her snotty, pretend-she-doesn't-get-it answer to you seems to be right in character.

Our Charlotte Observer was doing this at our house until I called and told them I was calling the police and having them arrested for trashing my yard if they threw one more, too.

...adding that he tried to steer them away from using the terms "bias" and "objectivity."

"Those terms have been drained of any stable meaning," he said.

That attitude says it all.

One wonders about connections between the leftist news paper and the left leaning organized crime controlled unions.

Do the Maifiaized unions thugs patrol the halls of the Inquirer?

If this is their response the circ. loss must be significant.

I can understand a single op-ed column endorsement of Kerry like most newspapers had this year when endorsing either Kerry or Bush. That's fine. My own hometown newspaper endorsed Kerry in that kind of fashion and I am not upset with them about it.

However, the Philadelphia Inquirer ran a series of 21 op-eds, each one endorsing a different point in Kerry's platform?

A little bit much, don't you think?

We did our job rather forcefully in supporting Kerry

Funny, you want us to believe your job is to report the news unbiasedly....

I live near Valley Forge. I have never subscribed to what I believe is a Communist propaganda tool for the Left. I am constantly beseiged at local stores by Inquirer pitchmen attempting to sign up subscribers.

When I tell them that I am a Conservative as a reason for not subscribing, the genetic mutants they hire look at me with a puzzled stare. They don't get it. When I further explain that the Inquirer is a Communist rag spewing Leftist propaganda, and that's why I won't subscribe, they continue to look at me with a puzzled stare.

I am constantly finding free Inquirers in my driveway followed by annoying calls from a-holes who want to sell me a subscription. So I start all over. They are speechless and hangup.

This bitch wants to talk????? Call me up honey! I've got plenty to say!

Anne Gordon, the Inquirer's managing editor was communications director for the Colorado Democratic Party during Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign.
A newpaper's managing editor is responsible for assignments and placement of news stories. No bias there, right?

I'm just waiting for someone in Philly to dig up The Philadelphia Bulletin from its grave. It was the only paper worth reading in Philly.
