Creative Hit Job
The Inquirer did a charming hit job on its editorial page today. I’ll give them a little credit for creativity since this one is a visual trick. Here’s a screenshot and a link to the editorial.
That’s a picture of Pennsylvania Attorney General Tom Corbett next to a headline that says “Enabling prostitution”. The editorial is about prostitution on Craigslist and a variety of efforts to stop it. Corbett is, in fact, barely in the editorial at all. Yet there’s his mug next to the headline.
I’ll bet you’d never guess he’s a Republican running for governor. I’m sure you’re surprised to hear that.
I’m glad to have such a respectable publication in this town. They have the highest standards at the Inquirer. They are above dirty tricks and hit jobs. That’s why I’m sure the editors don’t beat their wives or kick their dogs.
