My friend Richard Aregood, Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial writer and now the Daily News ombudsman from his undisclosed location, weighs in on recent events here at 400 North Broad Street:
By altering coverage, the management disrespected its own mission and shot itself in the foot with an automatic weapon. It also endangered the value of the papers. Philadelphians are very familiar with the fix being in. It is a city in which the readers are fully as dubious about big shots as the journalists are.
Whitney Houston is still dead.— Another_1- I fixed it for Richard: "The only common threads are trust and the mission of telling all the truth as best you know it"....with of course a liberal, democratic party spin. Last part probably got lost in the editing.— jimmymack
Comment removed.- "Journalists." Oh my sides.— fredgwynne

- Notice how the only people bidding on the Pinky and Daily Snooze are liberal billonaires with God-complexes? Notice how no one is bidding on the papers who actually work in the newspaper business or are finance people? I think that is telling.— Comrade Noodlehead
Why do I get the impression this perpetually kooky, creepily obsessive, and ridiculously relentless whack job, "bill,at,kins," is a disgruntled former DN employee?— Mr_Cool- I guess the kindest thing that I can say is that most people that are in the least-respected lines of work (Congressmen, used-car salesmen, etc.), don't go to bed at night deluding themselves that they are paragons of virtue, high priests of truth and sacred holders of the public trust. So why do most journalists feel this way?— m13sully
- I'm surprised our "peoples editor" didnt weigh in on the obvious conflcit of newspapers taking money from the politicians they are supposedly keeping an eye on. The Inquirer got bailed out, we got sold out! We are the 99%!— tr88

- Actually, I'm not surprised at all.— tr88

- Why do all these newspaper types assume that if the Inq and DN go out of business, another newspaper won't rise up and take it's place?— jmc
