Kudos To The Inquirer

Kudos To The Inquirer

I was ready to nominate the Philadelphia Inquirer for the Walter Duranty Prize after seeing the front page teaser on  on its Currents section yesterday, July 10.

It read “The miracle in Venezuela” and had a smiling picture of Hugo Chavez who is that republic’s top banana.

It turned out, however, that the miracle described in an excellent story by Andres Oppenheimer was the way that extraordinarily oil-rich nation had become an economic basket-case under the direction of an ideological incompetent.

So, will the Inquirer endorse Barack Obama again in 2012?

Note the headline on the web version uses the phrase ‘reverse miracle’ so apparently others were preparing Duranty nominations as well.

  1. Ye gawds! What’s happening at the white elephant on N. Broad St.

    First they take off on one of the Kennedy’s favorite dictators and today (7/11/11) They editorialize in favor of “showing incompetent teachers the door.”

    The next thing you know they’ll be pushing for school choice and vouchers.

    But endorsing a Republican for president.

    Miracles do happen, but that’s beyond hope and belief.

  2. Hollyweird’s Chavez sympathizers like Oliver Stone, Sean Penn and Danny Glover must be outraged that the Inquirer has the audacity to print the truth.
