Knight-Ridder still has its facts wrong: The '76 PA primary was not the last time it counted.

[Hart2008]

Knight-Ridder never lets the facts get in the way of its reporting:

"The last time a Pa. primary mattered"

Funny but in '92, Bill Clinton didn't have enough delegates to claim the nomination until California voted in June. Jerry Brown was still alive at the time of the PA primary in '92.

The hotter contest was in '84 when Gary Hart valiantly tried to prevent the foreseeable Mondale GE disaster. Pennsylvania certainly mattered then:

Why can't the Knight-Ridder group simply tell the truth and report the news?

Twenty years later, Knight-Ridder still refuses to write anything positive about Gary Hart, even when they need to rewrite history to avoid writing the obvious.

Twenty four years after Hart battled Mondale in Pennsylvania, some lessons could be drawn from the '84 PA primary: Pennsylvania is still blue collar, but its unions are certainly less than they were in '84. Hillary's Wal-Mart is now the state's largest employer.


Don't wait for an honest discussion about it from Knight-Ridder:

They can only do hatchet jobs on good Dem's.

1. Knight-Ridder was okay during the buildup to Iraq.

2. I don't think any of the MSM was OK during the sales job to invade Iraq. n/t

3. I thought Knight Ridder was kaput

Aren't they McClatchy now?

[Hart2008]

4. Right, McClatchy bought and sold the Philadelphia Inquirer from Knight-Ridder

The Philadelphia Inquirer is now owned by Philadelphia Media Holdings LLC:

"Its prestige has since waned because of cost-cutting and a shift of focus to more local coverage.":

Still there is some remaining hostility here to Hart that they refuse to even mention the '84 PA primary and are writing that the '76 primary was the last time the PA primary mattered.
