One of the biggest questions to come out of the Bill Conlin allegations from yesterday was, how will the Daily News cover it? Larry Platt, editor of the Philadelphia Daily News, is in a strange situation. In an editorial posted (and printed) today, Platt reveals that after he approached Conlin about the allegations yesterday, “He offered to retire and I immediately accepted. I knew I’d never be comfortable running his byline again.” Platt also decided to run the Inquirer report in the Daily News as well, because, “readers of the paper deserve to see the allegations in full context.”

Once again, the Inky story can be found here. Unless something huge comes out in the next day, this is all we’re saying before Christmas. Let’s focus on the good, right everybody? Right.
