INTELLIGENCER JOURNAL

In endorsing John Morganelli for Attorney General, the Intell states: "Morganelli suggested earlier this year that [Attorney General Tom] Corbett 'botched' the '[Bonusgate] investigation ....and that the probe is 'politically tainted' as a result."

WATCHDOG: Since Corbett recently investigated and censured the illegal activities of four Intelligencer Journal reporters for unlawful access to a state confidential web site and Editor Ray Shaw had reportedly approved the improper activities of the reporters, NewsLanc suggests that the Intell endorsement is itself "tainted." Given the circumstance, the editors should have refrained from commenting on the race.
