Newspaper Still Glorifying Pawlowski

I was intending to finish the blog week with a nostalgic post about growing up in Allentown in the 1950's, a good decade for both the city, the newspaper and most residents. Instead, once again, I'm compelled to wonder about the newspaper and the mayor.

Over a month ago, the FBI agent who investigated Pawlowski's misdeeds was interviewed in Bethlehem. His revelations were covered by both WFMZ, Lehigh Valley Live and this blogger.  Although the Morning Call reporter was there taking notes, no article ever appeared.  However, yesterday the reporter did a feel good piece about Pawlowski, contributing to the life of his fellow prisoners while he studies for his appeal.
It’s kind of like being mayor but for a lot less money’: Ed Pawlowski reveals what he’s doing in prison
We read about Ed teaching civics and bible, studying law, and staying productive despite his challenging circumstances. what an inspiration.  The Morning Call endorsed Ed Pawlowski for  mayor in 2005. Until the FBI raid in July of 2015,  their support of him never waned.  A newspaper was blind to a mayor cheating the public for a decade... that is what they should write about.

the Morning Call has a flattering picture of Pawlowski, I'd rather show the crook with his Philly lawyer

  1. Mike, honesty, the writers and editors of the Morning Call demonstrate again they are either clueless or themselves corrupt by writer such pap. Ed did deep and lasting damage to the city all detailed here and elsewhere many times already no need to rehash it. By continuing to paint such destruction and corrupt as something other than what it was they enable the same corruption to continue and block the good government Our city so desperately needs. Want proof of that just look at the calibre of people populating city hall, the mayor's office, city council, and the school board. A mix of rogues, partisan hacks, clueless virtue signalers, and perhaps one or two well intentioned but visionless Democrats. We can thank the Morning Call for this thanks to exactly such reporting as we see today.

  2. I read the MC article. Unbelievable - he's revered - no mention of the 47 counts and the corruption. I thought prison was supposed to be a punishment. Instead it appears to be a retirement home.
