Rosenthal could've contributed a lot less to global warming by just saying this and sitting down. |

NEW YORK Former Philadelphia Inquirer Editor Robert Rosenthal, who spent 22 years at the paper, said the sale to a local investors group could prove problematic.
"It is a unique situation and I don't think it is necessarily a great one for journalism," said Rosenthal, who is currently managing editor at the San Francisco Chronicle. "Many of them are some of the most influential business people in Philadelphia and people who actively support politicians locally and nationally."
The veteran editor called the situation "very interesting and dangerous ... at times."

In addition, Rosenthal called the leader of the investment group, Brian Tierney, a "fierce advocate who is used to getting his own way....I can't imagine a guy like Brian Tierney taking a back seat and letting things get in the paper that he is unhappy with," Rosenthal told E&P just hours after the deal was announced. "He was a very fierce advocate for his clients, there was nothing subtle about him -- elbows and knees."
Tierney served as national head of Catholics for Bush in 2000 and has been active in other Republican campaigns.

Rosenthal was the perfect editor for the "Stinky" - - as brazen a liberal as you could find.
But somehow, I think he fits in even better in San Fransicko - - the bottom of the barrel.
Oh, what would be good for the country is for a huge conglomerate like Ganett to take over and turn the paper into a semi-literate rag.
They're right - it's very dangerous.
I mean, what happens if this paper goes conservative and circulation/ad sales start going *up*??? Then there will be a whole lot of liberal newsies who will have to scramble to explain to shareholders why they're losing share and the Inky is increasing. And shortly after that there will be a lot of vacancies....
The new owners could get a leg up if they have plenty of comics and puzzles. Then "fair and balanced" puts them over the top.
It dosen't matter - the people in Philadelphia can't read anyway (unless the article has the words 'da EAGLES' in it).
But Mort Zuckerman is all right cause he's a reliable lib.
The Horror!
It is comical to me how "journalists" -- who have NO professional qualifications whatsoever -- think they are so superior to everybody else. They have the gall to proclaim that their own whims and prejudices constitue "jounalistic ethics".
Just last night, I was watching a show on PBS where some poor guy from one of the Russian republics was trying to rescue his wife, who had been sold into prostitution in the islamic paradise of Turkey. In desparation, he came up with a scheme that would require the active participation of the "journalists" who were filming his struggle. Naturally, the female-in-charge of the crew spent time in front of the camera pontificating about whether they should "get involved". It p-ed me off so bad I turned the TV off and went to bed.
Secretly, like all socialists, they hate normal people because normal people value genuine accomplishment rather than self-absorbed navel-gazing.
Wait a minute! This moron say the Inq was "Great Journalism???" It's a Communist Rag-Sheet you would see fit to wipe a horses ass!
Like the Inky's enthusiastic cheerleading for the Palestinian terrorists. Herb Denenberg (Search Inquirer) documents the Anti-semitic bias of the Inquirer.
U must mean "DA IGGLES" !
