Guest column: Inquirer drops suit against Byko
By Ralph Cipriano In a non-confidential settlement signed Monday, the Philadelphia Inquirer has decided to drop the vindictive lawsuit that it had filed against Stu Bykofsky, the newspaper’s own former columnist.

I’ve been a little less active on social media and on this blog for the past week because I’ve been in a City Hall courtroom. The defamation suit I filed more than three years ago against the Philadelphia Inquirer and Inga Saffron is now in the hands of

King Kenney: Trump wannabe
It’s a rich irony that after years of butt smooching Jim Kenney, Philadelphia Magazine would feel his petty wrath after it grew a pair and published a couple of things His Grouchiness did not like. Like totalitarian wannabe Donald Trump that he repeatedly squawks about, the thin-skinned and hot-tempered
