What has the world come to, lol....


Philly is the 5th largest city in the US and has 2 major newspapers, and the fact they cannot spare or afford one reporter to cover the goings on of this trial is terrible. This is a federal crime where a citizen of philly is alleged to be a major mafia boss and conducted business right here in the city, allegedly....I do not know the reaches of the philly mob today but, I am guessing it could go to philly pd and city hall? I have no clue, but the alleged crimes have to do with ripping off citizens of philadelphia and businesses, you would think the paper or press would cover this like a major city would do. The FBI and the federal govt has had 3 major cases tried and won in philly in the past 2 years and teh coverage was excellent for those cases
