Democrats seek to buy Philadelphia newspapers to create western Pravda

Philadelphia’s two daily newspapers have long been accused of liberal bias, but critics say a group of potential buyers led by former Gov. Ed Rendell would turn the papers into mere mouthpieces of the Democratic Party in a 2012 swing state.

Mr. Rendell, a former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, is teaming with George Norcross, the Democratic Party boss of southern New Jersey, and others in an effort to purchase the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Daily News and the company’s website, philly.com.

There is reportedly at least one other bidder for the media company, the most influential in Pennsylvania, though that party has not publicly identified itself.

“The prospect of Rendell’s group owning the newspapers is like the foxes watching the henhouse and all of the sacred cows,” said Paul Davies, former deputy editorial page editor at the Inquirer. “Essentially, the Inquirer will cease to exist as a legitimate newspaper. It will become the insiders’ house organ.”

Pat is not RIGHT…he is LEFT.I think you had better leave CNN soon, as you may be starting to be influenced by the left. You certainly are taking much credence in what they have to say.In fact much I read on here by the bloggers and the posters, they attack OUR candidates like they are on the left!I have never seen anything like it. I just read on CNN this morning an article by the lefts largest big mouth…it was pretty bad. Do you know what he did..parroted what I see written on these blogs every day. Talk about a party who is destroying itself!Shame on many of you.Write and speak of who you are for and why. Do not rip apart those who are still standing…they are our candidates!!!!!I am here at the CPAC as well. I however will listen to all of them and even when all are done speaking…I will NOT write against one of our candidates and bring the Liberals joy…I will write about the one who impressed me most and why I feel he may make the best president.Perhaps all of you should take the high road..STOP SOUNDING LIKE AND STOP FEEDING THE LEFT. That includes you Erick.
