Philadelphia Inquirer

Building on Nutter, FOX News, and the SEPTA Strike, it is vital that we look at the atrocious coverage of The Inquirer and in particular the work of staff writers Melissa Dribben, Jim Moran and Kia Gregory in the article Another Infuriating Day for Commuters. Basically the journalists utilized every metaphor and trick possible to make workers seem greedy and divide transit workers from other Philadelphians, explicitly taking the side of SEPTA management at a critical juncture in the contract struggle.

The Inky has always taken the easy road, and my earlier designation of their work as cowardly ("Profiles in Cowardice: The Philadelphia Inquirer's new 'right stuff' program," Z Magazine, July/August, 2001) has rarely been contradicted by their news or editorial page policy. In the case of the Israel-Palestinian conflict it is of course notorious that no politician in this country can now survive without genuflecting to Israel and denouncing the Palestinians, and the media has been equally cowed.
It is interesting to see that former head of the American Jewish Committee, Henry Siegman, at this point cannot find any space in the mainstream U.S.
