I am with the media, am on a deadline and I am writing about you and your organization. See this message and your response at http://creditscoring.com/interaction/2016/09/08-pbc.html.

The headline of an article you published is, "Credit score alone won't keep you from getting that job."

Credit score alone won't keep you from getting that job. (2016, September 07). Retrieved September 08, 2016, from http://www.philly.com/philly/business/personal_finance/20160907_Credit_score_alone_won_t_keep_you_from_getting_that_job.html
The author is Singletary, M.

What is the name of the person who wrote that headline? #TheHed

Strangely, there is no byline naming the author of the article, Michelle Singletary. #1605y

Your source code states

"parselydomain":"philly.com","id":"UA-1605085-6","authors":"false"},"omniture":{"server":"www.philly.com"

What is wrong?

Veracity test

Your website also states, "Under former House Majority Leader John Boehner's leadership, Republicans who were angry at the president's pending nuclear deal with Iran brought in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to give an anti-Obama speech on the floor of Congress." http://articles.philly.com/2016-03-09/news/71314106_1_donald-trump-obama-speech-tea-party

Date of that article: 2016

Mr. Boehner is a former Majority Leader, but his most recent position, beginning in 2011, was Speaker (way more important). Netanyahu spoke in 2015.

What is your correction policy? I asked for that in 2012. http://www.pagea2.com/correction-policy-philadelphia-inquirer/  Do you have one?  http://www.pagea2.com/declarations/policies/newspapers/

While that one from this year is (technically) accurate, another one takes the cake. One single article on your website states, both

"We've got one last chance here to beat Obamacare, and we can do that in the November election," said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, calling the law the "single worst piece of legislation" passed in modern times.

and

"The American people do not want to go down this path," said House Majority Leader John Boehner (R., Ohio).
