Jonathan Neumann, a former Inquirer editor, says
Brian Tierney created "a whole new playbook" for Philly's PR community. "Once Brian had some success mounting personal attacks on reporters, we started getting those kinds of calls [at the paper] all the time." He adds: "I think it's a sad day that someone I've always considered an enemy of the First Amendment and an enemy of the Constitution now owns those newspapers." Tierney, who's now CEO of Philadelphia Media Holdings, responds: "I am a lawyer, and I took an oath to uphold the Constitution, which I love. What he says is totally false."
