A Daily News examination of state disclosure forms found that Corbett and his wife, Susan, accepted $11,343 in gifts from business executives, lobbyists or lobbying firms in 2010 – when the former attorney general mounted his successful campaign for governor – and in 2011, his first year in
office.
Campaign finance laws that don’t outlaw this stuff are missing a huge source of influence-buying.
C’mon, what’s the big deal? That’s not even poverty wages. He’d have had to take another $2 to have accepted enough to get a single person above the poverty line. That barely counts as a gift.
When the Philadelphia so-called newspapers start covering vs covering up the facts on Nutter, Ramsey, Brady, Fattah Sr. and Jr., Kenney and others of their ilk I may start giving an ounce of credit to their articles. Until then I continue to consider them Progresssive Stenographers who, due to their blatant bias, are going the way of the dinosaur.
Yes, if an outlet does not cover one set of misdeeds the set it does cover must be utterly disregarded or considered false. Makes perfect sense. Where does that leave Fox, NYT, or any other news outlet which by commission or ommission do not cover some side, aspect or topic? I suppose it’s permission for us to hold no one accountabler for anything, ever.
