The one Ray reviewed is ranked 194,821. <br /> <br />The first Keystone Corruption book was by Camino Books, Inc., which publishes 6 to 10 books per year. The followup was by Sunbury Press, Inc., which publishes about 70 books per year. If the first book was a sales success, why didn't Camino publish the followup?<br /><br />The Sunbury Press website has a list of 32 current best sellers but Bumsted's book is not among them.<br /><br />Tim Bertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06534135581401662154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-15501941752578712022016-08-05T22:11:22.205-04:002016-08-05T22:11:22.205-04:00I have no idea how much he's getting paid, but...I have no idea how much he's getting paid, but I'm sure he's being well compensated for throwing up smokescreens. <br /><br />Apparently, he just put out another book about Keystone Corruption -- bonusing off the travails of Kathleen Kane.<br /><br />Anything to deter the public's attention away from the corrupt PA judicial system.Ray Bleharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14557326921056183979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-71708191614717786332016-08-05T20:32:22.206-04:002016-08-05T20:32:22.206-04:00Gregory Vernon - Maybe Bumsted had to parrot the p...Gregory Vernon - Maybe Bumsted had to parrot the party line, or it would hurt hs job as a political reporter.

There certainly was enough literature available when he wrote the book to offer credible counterpoint to his narrative. Laziness doesn't explain this one. Total lack of analytic skills?? Maybe. I've always thought that sports writers and political pundits had their jobs for one reason...they aren't bright enough to have a job which requires skill.Greg Vernonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10566899608592908874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-90907686910103166502016-08-04T16:00:57.128-04:002016-08-04T16:00:57.128-04:00Ray, any idea how much Bumsted is getting paid for...Ray, any idea how much Bumsted is getting paid for his propaganda?mhentzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17177731477541716848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-81340809577793068212016-08-04T14:59:26.566-04:002016-08-04T14:59:26.566-04:00Ray, you should compile all your writings onto a b...Ray, you should compile all your writings onto a book!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329176198628810292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-83189095082329821882016-08-04T10:47:12.695-04:002016-08-04T10:47:12.695-04:00Good job with this Ray, thank you.
I've got ...Good job with this Ray, thank you. <br /><br />I've got to say that when a state has sunk to the depths that PA has, there's only one way to go now, and that is up. The political corruption has been so deeply entangled with organized crime in this state for so long, even the citizens have unwittingly accepted it as normal. Everyone in PA is afraid. Because on some level we know something is wrong and the result is we are subdued with fear. Look at the new Attorney General, she's been stifled with the threat of some manufactured legal conundrum. She can't speak. Who or what has this kind of power over the Attorney General? Pennsylvania has entire newspaper outlets and their fake journalists working for the political criminals. They confuse, distract, and misdirect us everyday with outright lies and propaganda. Like I've said many times before, the only way to bust this open and expose the fake journalists like Brad Bumsted, Sara Ganim, and John Micek, as being part of the organized political crime, is to bring a RICO statute investigation against them. They are part of the racket and must be punished for enabling and covering up the crimes of our "leaders".<br /><br />Watching Risa Vetri Ferman on television announcing false charges against her superior, Kathleen Kane, is like watching a cartoon! It makes no sense at all. And Kane goes along with it out of fear. She is stymied, and can't even explain to us who or what is doing this to her. If I were Kane, I'd call Ferman's bluff and let them jail me. Let the fake DAs and Kangaroo courts follow through to the illogical conclusion. What better way to bring attention to her plight? Because Kane's plight is our plight if we are Pennsylvanians. And we are a bunch of repressed cowards if we let this organized network of criminals go unnoticed and unpunished. All of them have "disappeared". Where is Tom Corbett? Where is Louis Freeh? Where is Ken Frazier? Where is Cynthia Baldwin? Where is Linda Kelly? Where is Pearly Peetz? Where is Frank Noonan? And even Frank Fina is gone now. But especially, where is Vetri Ferman? Not a peep from her--she's a judge now--whisked away from the controversy of falsely charging her superior on public television. They all hide while their corrupt newspapers speak the lies for them.Truthseekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06434780738644463324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-59703394488264735812016-08-04T05:30:25.089-04:002016-08-04T05:30:25.089-04:00Bumsted is a political reporter so even his claim ...Bumsted is a political reporter so even his claim that he was an "insider" in the title is misleading.<br /><br />I guess all he means is that he lived inside PA, not that he was a PA politician.Tim Bertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06534135581401662154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-3021789039123694202016-08-04T03:03:55.452-04:002016-08-04T03:03:55.452-04:00Who is Brad Bumstead?

When ...Who is Brad Bumstead? A Corbett apologist?<br /><br />When I was in High School (Cedar Cliff...Go Colts!), my mother was secretary to Sen. George Wade, who was a GOP honcho, I was told. PA was the epitome of political patronage. Everyone knew what the rules were and how to play the game. I spent a lot of time at the Capitol and had a lot of interesting conversations. As it was explained to me, the proper mode of behavior was to take your piece of pie and enjoy it. Do not try to steal pie from anyone, do not rock the boat.<br /><br />Everything seemed normal until this Corbett dude came along with his hatchet man Frank Fina. New rules! You dance to Corbett's tune or you hang.<br /><br />I feel nothing but enmity for Fina and the Corbett cabal. I want to see them rot in jail for what they have done for my beloved state of Pennsylvania.Greg Vernonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10566899608592908874noreply@blogger.com
