God knows I don’t want to be a noodge about it, but as long as the Inquirer keeps up its pro-illegal push, I feel obligated to respond to it, because no other mainstream media will.
And, yes, this blog is mainstream, centrist, with a simple Operating System (as the ‘puter people say): Obey the law.
In its Wednesday edition, it ran a huge picture on the first page of its “Philly & Region” section, with a 29-paragraph story on the next page.
According to staff writer Jeff Gammage’s reporting, a grand total of 75 people (out of 5 million in Greater Philadelphia) attended a rally outside City Hall to protest Mayor Cherelle Parker for not screaming like a loon about Donald J. Trump’s entirely lawful plan to deport people here illegally. The Open Border types will never stop.
The story seized on the excuse of the rally to rehash a very similar story that ran a few days earlier.
“At least” a half dozen Open Border organizations sponsored the rally. And yet a paltry 75 people attended. And they do want Open Borders, which is what you get when anyone who gets here, no matter how, is allowed to stay.
Why is the Inquirer so fixated on a topic that so few people care about?
Wake up! Um, I mean woke up.
It’s like the broadsheet is incapable of learning anything new. Partly as a result of the illegal immigrant tidal wave encouraged by Joe Biden, a majority of Americans favor mass deportations. I don’t, because it is too gross a tool and Trump can’t do it in four years. But he can, and should, make a huge dent.
In the story, 27 paragraphs were special interest pleading on behalf of illegals (who are never called illegals, just “migrants”), and background, while precisely two paragraphs were given to the opposing point of view. Well, 6.8% of the space is better than zero, which happens regularly in the Inquirer.
I know several Inquirer staffers subscribe to this blog, and others may read it without subscribing. Maybe my legitimate complaints about their biased reporting are having an effect.
I don’t know that for sure.
What I do know for sure is that as long as they keep up this crap, I will keep calling them out on it.

Stu, I live in a red state, in a county that went 2 to 1 for Trump. Our paper here, part of the USA Today network, is no better than The Inky on this topic. A headline this week discussed the migrant community's fear of deportation, completely ignoring that those here legally have nothing to fear. Trump has made it clear that his target is illegal immigrants, a term we are not supposed to use anymore because "people aren't illegal" in the woke world.
This is insanity.

Stu, this is one of the big benefits of your historic defamation case that you won against Inga, getting rid of that non-disparage clause that was gagging you from criticizing the Inky whenever they went overboard.
So keeping banging that dying newspaper about open borders and the bicycle coalition and I'll keep banging them about their shameless shilling on behalf of their great white savior, Larry Krasner.
Amen!
OMG yes, Ralph! The freedom to criticize is worth every penny it cost me. And you keep hammering that fraud Krasner.
I recently was shipping a dead fish and it requested not to be wrapped in the Inquirer.
🤣
Poor Gerry Lenfest. He gave generously to protect the Inquirer from its certain path to bankrupt.
The Inquirer is still in business because of Gerry's subsidy, but the real questions are, "Why are all the editors, Will Bunch, Solomon Jones, numerous of the wet behind the ears reporters and E. Hughes still employed?"
They mislead all of us, intentionally, naively or just plain stupidly, for the last eight years, and not one of the above has had a course correction of even one compass degree since the election that shellacked their opinions nationally and proved them wrong and rather dense on every subject.
Why are any of them still employed and still deliberately misleading the citizens of our great city?
If asked, I'd guess it was due to loopholes, splitting hairs and misrepresentation developed over the years in American courtroom First Amendment arguments. Legal defamation in print is The Philadelphia Inquirer. Legal defamation, with unhinged insanity, and the utter disgrace of our city.
Just goes to show that the progressive media is as full of 💩 as the MAGAt media.
