1. The Philadelphia Inquirer has 2 journalists - our chief political writer and foreign affairs columnist - in Germany for its critical election. A friend yesterday called us "a regional newspaper" but I'd say we're a historic legacy news org (with 23 Pulitzers)... www.inquirer.com/politics/ger... - ThreadSky

I live in Chicago and subscribe. One of the jewels of America.

You're a damned good newspaper and we're lucky to have you. It's still weird to see your old building surrounded by police cars on Broad Street...

willbunch.bsky.social•1 day ago

Lol soon our new building will probably be surrounded by (federal) police cars

Isn't already most of the day?

Your columns are very good.

He's the best.

Thanks for the reminder ... I'd been meaning to do this for a couple of months now ... just did

janeinnj.bsky.social•1 day ago

Absolutely agree

annathevagabond.bsky.social•1 day ago

Shoot I just subscribed and then I saw this nonsense.

Will have to call and cancel as I simply will not support this kind of fact-free Dem bashing.

Everything Biden did helped the working class and if a journalist pretends not to know that, I question his motivations.

annathevagabond.bsky.social•1 day ago

They were a little surprised that I was canceling so quickly and tried to get me to stay with a lower price.

I told them it's not about the price. I won't pay a penny to any outlet that features this kind of crap on the front page.

If I wanted that, I'd still have my NYT sub.

Ok, I’m a fan and all, but let’s talk about this later. Lots going on.

Happy to be a new subscriber!

This is a smart piece of journalism by Terruso. The parallels are clear and evident.

Ah... please reinstitute home delivery in Lancaster. Please please.

2... that's rising to meet the moment with the resources that we have. If you want to support NON-BILLIONAIRE JOURNALISM, backed by a public-interest nonprofit, this is a good time to consider subscribing so we can do more of this https://www.inquirer.com/offers/

raylud.bsky.social•1 day ago

I want to subscribe but apparently the overseas address for my credit card won’t work.

trypax.charityweb.net•1 day ago

I did! Even tho as a DC area sports fan, I have to grit my teeth whenever I see Eagles and Phillies news. Also, the Birds play in Baltimore with a round ball.

beadl0007.bsky.social•1 day ago

I subscribed this past fall

Inquirer does great work

I’ll support you when you stop coddling racist whites with this bullshit lie about Dems abandoning the working class. No they didn’t, those savages are made Dems let black people vote and I’m fucking tired of people coddle rural fascist subhumans.

vjablow.bsky.social•1 day ago

EXACTLY why I subscribe! Thank you and your colleagues for your excellent work.

monterossino.bsky.social•1 day ago

Ok, did it.

lbw215.bsky.social•1 day ago

Canceled my NYT and WaPo subs recently and I couldn’t be more pleased to be paying to read the Inquirer. Great national AND regional coverage. Great journalism.

stiffelman.bsky.social•1 day ago

I did and just love it.

ekajtesch.bsky.social•1 day ago

Hey @willbunch.bsky.social, could you post a link that talks about that public interest non-profit? I’d like to know more but am having trouble finding it.

willbunch.bsky.social•1 day ago

This is a good overview from 2019 although obviously some things have changed (I believe staff morale is a lot higher, for example) https://www.niemanlab.org/2019/08/three-years-into-nonprofit-ownership-the-philadelphia-inquirer-is-still-trying-to-chart-its-future/

atriana.bsky.social•1 day ago

I'm an out-of-towner but subscribed a few months back. I forget which story it was but it had a truthiness that I'd been missing in the other newspapers.

This is the time when we must absolutely support independent and/or non-profit media (you're both.)

Keep up the great work!

Democratic "failures" with the working class -what a load of bullshit. Go ahead tell us about the R successes with the working class collective bargaining? Wage increases ? worker protection? Wait that was the Democrats.

attacking dems? fuck off

How many times when Trump got into financial trouble did a Russian come to his aid?

The Philadelphia Inquirer is where everyone who wanted fearless, honest reporting came to after the Washington Post wimped out during the election. @willbunch.bsky.social

“Democrats failure with the working class” is cutsie languages used by Murc’s law glue huffers. What they actually mean is rural white pissed about the CRA. Stop privileging racist rural vermin.
