The Marshall Projects newsletter today is featuring an article by the Miami Times: <br /><br />A Florida newspaper apologizes for printing a front-page gun advertisement beneath a story about the Parkland survivors and says it will halt, for now, running such ads. <br /><br />The article praises the exemplary reporting of the Sun Sentinels journalist on the massacre, yet the paper advertising staff is continuing taking money from gun sellers.<br /><br />This reminds me of exactly what the Inky is doing to defendants, they write lengthy articles with information taken from Innocence Projects throughout the country or from people who have maintained their innocence but spent a lifetime in prison for a crime they did not commit.<br /><br />Citing the reasons, either bad eye witness identification, witnesses that recant their testimony ,"professional"misconduct,or a multitude of failure on the part of the Justice Department, all to highlight the injustice of our current judicial system. <br /><br />Yet they continue to condemn defendants for the amusement and delight of the region, or to horrify and frighten, whereby selling more papers or online subscriptions to boost sales. <br /><br />Reporting erroneous facts that captivate the masses increases sales as well as sets reporters on the path to journalistic rewards for tales <br /> of crimes that never happened. Inaccurate reporting fuels discrimination for either race or specific professions. As in "All politicians are crooks", everyone will believe what we say about them.<br /><br />The sources are prosecutors who have every reason to want to win a case and condemn a defendant before trial, the Inky cant have it both ways. It leads to a very critical society, exactly what we have right now. Never changing a reporting stance leads me to believe that once the Inky makes a statement, incorrect or not, it sticks with it forever, no admission of a mistake being made by them. <br /><br />Its hard to believe what anyone has to say these days, the only thing we can be use sure of is that most people do what is right for them, not what is right and just and the Inky falls into that category. <br /><br />So instead of them reporting what is right according to prosecutors they should do what is right by all,defendants and prosecutors. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-71384052035255906932018-04-29T12:56:49.884-04:002018-04-29T12:56:49.884-04:00The Inquirer acted as a witness for the prosecutio...The Inquirer acted as a witness for the prosecution, it should now recant it's testimony.

We watch as the media and policing agencies are powerless to confront prosecutors. <br /><br /> We are victimized over and over and have to suffer daily indignities by society for non-existent crimes and watch in horror as prosecutors are handed more power over us victims. <br /><br />We need our own movement, we need to have a platform to speak and tell of the injustices that have been committed against the innocent. Many organizations know there is a problem and have highlighted the outrages but its not solving the problem, maybe a #MetooDefendant movement is the answer. <br /><br />Its an insurmountable problem that we all know exists but we are powerless to fix, those that we depended on to assist with these outrageous crimes turn a blind eye to our plight out of fear.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-50100409040635990132018-04-25T14:40:18.546-04:002018-04-25T14:40:18.546-04:00Maybe we are going about this all wrong, we need a...Maybe we are going about this all wrong, we need a raid somewhere with the media tipped off, then give them the new info they have been hiding.

We are horrified when we read about injustices in foreign lands, yet its rampant in our own country.<br /><br /> If and when the main stream media decides to hold the prosecution liable for their actions,we must continue to discuss the civil rights violations against innocents.<br /><br />Ralph has recently had a book published on Senator Fumo, also has had articles picked up by Newsweek and other news outlets, as the local media in Philadelphia is not interested in the truth.<br /><br />One truthful article written in a lifetime is worth more than multiple articles everyday that do nothing to promote truth or bring justice to the unjustly accused.
