That trial was totally unnecessary and served no purpose for the people of the city. If that court needed a revamping and re configuring that should have been the method, not a wasteful federal trial that bankrupted most of the accused.<br /><br />As for the Republicans being nonexistent, they were behind the take down of Traffic Court or should I say one Republican in general, along with his buddies in the federal building. Maybe the Republicans are not drinking the Kool-Aid and realize that all politicians have a target on their backs.<br /> Who would want to be a politician in these days of "all politicians are crooks" expressed by a federal prosecutor. It's not worth it, let someone else be the politician, stay out its a dirty business and the media despises you as well. <br /><br /> I would like to think that no matter the party you identify with you would have to expect the prosecution to tell the truth and a media outlet to report the truth. There is no better way to lose the trust of the public that being dishonest, exactly what I accuse the Inky of doing, swaying public opinion to serve the prosection.<br /><br />Without bigtrial I would never have known of Krasner's failings by putting people at risk, not being able to work with law enforcement hinders his ability to keep us safe, I want a truth seeker and truth speaker as a DA. We did need a conviction review unit to undo years of lies, which I do believe happened. I suggest the Inky does not endorse anyone for DA or any political office, give us the stats and let us decide. <br /><br />America is not the country I thought it was, I thought the truth mattered, I thought telling the truth was an attribute to be praised not ignored or scorned. The Inky has rendered itself useless if it can not tell the truth. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-5906566828766095922020-03-17T15:22:58.288-04:002020-03-17T15:22:58.288-04:00As a long time bigtrial reader and frequent commen...As a long time bigtrial reader and frequent commenter, here are my thoughts as a Democrat and a mostly liberal. You Ralph, in my estimation have always called the shots as you saw them, which I greatly admire. Covering the courts calls for an even temper and an open mind, two qualities I believe you possess. Allowing the public to also express their views is rewarding for the person writing but hopefully to the reader to see how others feel about the same subject. We usually find out lots of info we would not have heard otherwise, bits and pieces that make a story real.<br /><br />The Inky who has been working with the prosecution as a partner to destroy fellow citizens transcends political affiliation, it belongs to a subset of people who believe that people with opposing viewpoints need to be punished and scapegoated. No matter the cost of human life, they are able to convince themselves that it's for the common good or in their own words "fighting corruption". A bit like being a member of a secret society who sits in judgment on fellow citizens but outwardly playing the diplomat trying to persuade its readers they are impartial and unbiased.<br /><br />No media outlet should condemn a person who has been accused of a crime by a prosecutor, no media outlet should voice an opinion condemning an accused person giving more weight to the prosecution's case. Partnering with the prosecution is wrong, let the DOJ fight their own battles, the Inkys job is to remain neutral and not print damaging information about an accused. During a trial, the Inky should be able to accurately relate the days' events, regardless if they agree with the outcome. Being partnered with the prosecution does not allow for the public to make a decision, we are force-fed the prosecution's version of facts through Inky reporters. <br /><br />No one is able to think for themselves, no one is able to decide if a defendant was innocent or guilty based on the facts of the case as they played out. If the Inky says a defendant is guilty they are condemned for life, the Inky influences the jury and the judge. The judge and jury want to oblige as the public is clamoring for the defendant's head to roll.<br /><br />Give us the facts let us decide for ourselves, remember when the Inky prints" facts" and they are proven wrong they never retract their views or admit they got it wrong. How can a paper condemn a defendant without sitting through an entire trial, and printing the accurate facts after the day's court proceedings? Giving us false and misleading info is criminal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-90610239480318645332020-03-17T11:31:53.116-04:002020-03-17T11:31:53.116-04:00Start with one that just covers crime, it may make...Start with one that just covers crime, it may make it easier to do. You can focus on trials and the DOJ that will be more than enough to keep everyone busy. This would be the first time the public would be treated to facts instead of the will of the Inky Editorial Board and reporters with an ax to grind.<br /><br /> Maybe we do not need all the reporters to be trained journalist, we can certainly find victims of the Inky to report their account of life at the hands of unscrupulous prosecutors and journalists.

The Inquirer blames declining readership on lack of advertisements and fails to see that many former readers dislike the blatant liberal bias. Wealthy Philadelphia conservatives should get together and put up the funds to launch a counter-newspaper in Philadelphia.

I still subscribe to the Inquirer although frequently ask myself why I still do so. The quality of the writing is abysmal, the opinions uniform and are usually wrong. Most importantly, the paper does tell me much that I don't already know or find out elsewhere. A local paper is supposed to be the best source for local news, sports and the obituaries. The coverage of local sports(especially at the high school level) has been cut back to the point that it no longer provides much information that I seek. The quality of sports writers and sports columnists(with a very few exceptions such as Joe Juliano and Bob Ford) are pathetic. As a general rule they know less about the teams that they cover than some of the bloggers out there, and there writing is simply not interesting. They offer little perspective. The editorial page prevents no diversity of opinion. More importantly, it has no appeal to the demographics of its subscribers. The elimination of Ms. Flowers is just another nail in the coffin of the paper that Gerry Lenfest gave away and threw $20 million on top of it to so he could limit the amount of his future losses. It has only become a worse paper.rtroncehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12051273264998376137noreply@blogger.com
