‘Daily News’ Does Walk Of Shame

Oh, it wasn’t just a press release on Friday. To make sure we got the point, some of Fattah’s followers protested outside the Daily News last week. The protesters chanted “Shame on you, Daily News!” while marching outside the paper’s offices at 400 N. Broad Street.

It wasn’t just that cartoon. Fattah already has a strategy for explaining a loss, as a group called the Save Our Kids Alliance has complained the Daily News “has engaged in biased reporting that targets Fattah while providing free advertising for Michael Nutter.” The Daily News hasn’t been investigating Michael Nutter’s tremendous amount of blackness yet.

Fattah didn’t just let other people complain for him, though. He took action:

“It’s an insult to the lives of people spent not in the ivory tower of newspaper editorial rooms. I’ve been out on street corners. I have been shot myself trying to help young people be protected.”

The ivory tower of newspaper editorial rooms! Watch out, Daily News editor Michael Days, next Fattah’s going to call you not black enough.
