Timing is somewhat suspicious, eh? Fina's got friends in high places.

Inquirer fires back at Kane
- Thread starter lionlurker
- Start date
Geez no "agenda" there huh?
I guess money can buy you anything...even the press.
Pathetic.
Looks like Philly Inq/Philly.com are giving HPN/PennLive a run for their money on who is the most embarrassing, biased, corrupt, POS newspaper in PA.
So just to be clear, she's supposed to use her own money (meaning its a personal matter) in defending herself from this nonsense, but she's supposed to use her government email address to discuss it with others.
Alrighty then.
Alrighty then.
And this is a shocking surprise.........to no one.
In fact, while chatting with Dukie today, it was the first thing I mentioned to him..."Here come 20 "stories" in the Inky and the Patriot trying to mudsling on Kane"
PRAVDA was a source of higher journalistic integrity than either of those propaganda rags.
Love her or hate her, I think it behooves all of us to SUPPORT her - given the clear agenda we see and the forces that are in play working to sabotage her.
She's gotta' be doing something right wrt exposing these Scumbags.

I don't know if it's people's duty to support her but I am glad it's going to court where it hopefully it gets settled fairly and accurately. At least each side can put up a fight there.
.That said, I do find it strange and certainly noteworthy to see the Philadelphia Inquirer's attacks on Kane and the timing. She's a female Democrat (first ever) in the AG office. Generally she'd have to brutally murder 30 people in downtown Philly, at high noon in front of crowds of witnesses, and on live TV, before they'd ever say anything bad about that demographic.......and even then it would be 50/50. (Being sarcastic but you get the point
). The fact they've jumped pretty heavily against her (without the same level of aggressiveness toward Fina and company over their actions including with the porngate scandal) is odd.

Not being from the Philadelphia area, I am assuming "The Daily News" is the Inquirer's main rival. That being said there was a statement in the article that could explain the Inquirer's reason to hate Kane.
Prosecutors say Kane arranged for King, her former top aide, to get the material to Josh Morrow, a political consultant. Morrow, in turn, gave it to a Daily News reporter.

I would guess that it burns them up that they no longer get exclusive grand jury leaks from Fina and his merry band of pornsters. Maybe they feel they are the superior class and should get what they want.

I hear what your saying....but - in following their behavior over the YEARS of this entire saga - their CONTINUING behavior here is neither odd or unexpected (in fact, it is pretty much a certified guarantee that they would attack - and will continue to attack - Kane).
The Inky has been a propaganda machine for the Corbett OAG and Prosecutors office for the duration of this affair. I know that may break from the historical "Democratic Lean" of the Inky.....but I think this is MUCH MORE about money and influence over the paper, than it is about political ideology (quite frankly, most of the true scumbags DON'T HAVE ANY political ideology - beyond the fanatical pursuit of "getting their's").
Why the attacks and the propagandizing for Fina/Williams and the other scumbags? (I think we all know of one of our New/Old BOT leaders who maintains a strong connection to the Inky...FWIW) Couple of ideas, but whatever the motivations, their actions have been clear and consistent.
This recent article is such an unbelievable piece of propaganda (I may take the time to write up some of the nonsense in it....if I get time) that it CAN'T be written off as some journalist's legitimate opinion or viewpoint...... IT IS PURE PROPAGANDA.....no doubt. Meaning that SOMEONE is pulling those strings.
I hear ya........but to say the Inquirer has a traditional 'Democrat lean' is the understatement of the year. Generally, the Inquirer treats anything Republican the way Auburn fans treat anything Alabama. (I'm in a really sarcastic mood tonight in case you can't tell).
I do agree that the anomaly does make one think this is more about money and influence over the paper or some other overriding issue as you said. I think the problem in this mess is that neither side (Fina or Kane) are angels here and both have acted stupidly (and illegally??) allowing legitimate criticism.I'm guessing that Frank Fina has files on lots of people, not just politicians. The PA OAG has been run like Hoover's FBI for a long, long time.
No doubt. That's why freeh and the PAOAG were like two peas in a pod. Freeh ran his fbi similar to corbetts OAG. They're all Corrupt scumbags.
Fina now works for Seth and Kane punked Seth regarding the corruption cases that she dropped in his lap after he criticized her. This makes it a Kane (white witch from upstate) vs. Williams (black, urban, shining knight) feud and Seth has a more appealing demographic than Kane as far as the Inquirer is concerned.I don't know if it's people's duty to support her but I am glad it's going to court where it hopefully it gets settled fairly and accurately. At least each side can put up a fight there.

Significant difference being that Kane has done nothing wrong and Fina has done plenty wrong.
But, have at it anywho.
LOL
You mean to tell me Fina wasn't hired on merit? Shocking.
And they used to be a good paper with Pulitzer's and all.... Sad how the mighty have fallen.
Yes, there is a difference between what the two have done:
Fina used very poor discretion, but does not appear to have committed a crime. But because it was so dumb, he may lose his job.
Kane also used very poor judgement and will appear in criminal court in October. If she is found guilty, I doubt that she will face jail time, but will likely be disbarred.
Thanks for the reminder Barry. I'm scheduling my 5th year anniversary colonoscopy even as I type this.
There's a good chance Fina will get charged with theft of service, perjury (for making a materially false statement to judge carpenter about the nature of the emails), and probably a few other things. After what Fina has just put Kane through I'm sure Kane won't be doing Fina any favors when it comes his turn to be charged with crimes.
The Joebots are out of touch. The Inky is as liberal as they get. They supported Kane until it became obvious she is a crook.
The Inquirer and Daily News are owned by the same company, headed by Ira Lubert's best friend's son.
O M G!!!
"The Joebots are out of touch".....zwick 8/27/15
The all-time "ironical" post champion!!!
Haven't heard "Joebot" in a while. I guess Joe knew about the email porn, and wished he done more to stop it.
So SHOCKING how this stuff always circles back to our "esteemed" BOT members.
WELCOME BACK IRA!!!!!
Absolutely! I'm in total agreement. She needs everyone's support.
