Your "blind squirrel" metaphor falls apart when you consider the NY Times' decision to bury the story.  The editors of the revered Gray Lady didn't just happen to overlook the story.  They made a deliberate decision to bury it because it would hurt Biden in the upcoming election.  Just as they made a deliberate decision to push the lie that Brian Sicknick was viciously murdered.

Yet the ever so enlightened chattering class sneers at the NY Post while prostrating themselves before their Oracle of Truth, the NYT.  It's not a matter of truth vs. falsehood or journalism vs. sensationalism.  Liberals denigrate one paper while worshipping the other because one tells them what they want to hear while the other refuses to toe that line.

No, many Democrats voted for Dwight Eisenhower in 1952 and 1956 because Adlai Stevenson  was forced on the Dems by President Truman and Mrs Roosevelt.

It happened again in 1960 and 1972 because Dems were unsure about John Kennedy and later George Mc Govern even though they didn't like Richard Nixon

No politics here @TumYum or he thread gets moved.

 

Just mentioning I served in Vietnam so I know how to use a rifle is NOT a political statement.

You have been singing the same operatic tune about the New York Times for years. 

For good reason about The New York Times.

Now back to the question at hand.  Did the NY Post get the story about the killing in Philadelphia wrong?  If not, why start up your tirade on the NY Post?  

This whole discussion on the NY Post is off topic from death in the streets of Philadelphia.  Now if you wanted to continue to help move the topic along, please tell us your local insight on why these killings are happening and better yet, suggestions to end the killing.

No.

not off topic to the members who have put up with  many quotes from The New York Post recently. Just look at the reaction here against the newspaper
