Front Page News History
Front
Page News is a media industry leader reaching U.S. households through
newspaper publishing, television and radio broadcasting and the
Internet. Operations are concentrated in the nation’s minor markets,
including Philadelphia, New York, New Jersey City, Los Angeles,
Hopewell, VA and Harrisburg.
The company was founded in 2000. That year, on May 19 2000, the
Philadelphia Front Page News published its first online edition in a
3-bedroom apartment located at 5029 Walnut Street. The original press
run consisted of stories about the first African-American Professional
Wrestling Entertainment Company lead by former Philadelphia Eagles
football player Skip Hamilton in the year 1998. Hamilton who played
briefly for the Philadelphia Eagles under coach Buddy Ryan during the
player strike era, later worked with Samuel Van Stone Downing sharing
volunteer time with needy children.
In 1997 Van Stone, who was writing
for years on a local-wide and citywide level, began to organize solo the
first edition of the Philadelphia Front Page News featuring Soul City
Wrestling as the lead story. But, Stone’s newspaper was not a full
newspaper just yet. Stone branched out on his own creating a magazine
called Van Stone’s Digest. Van Stone’s Digest ran for two years ending
up as a transformation from hard copy print to the first Black American
published online newspaper about the people of Philadelphia, PA and
Yeadon, PA and East Lansdowne, PA, and Camden, NJ, and Harrisburg, PA,
and Lancaster, PA. The Philadelphia Front Page News located at 5029
Walnut Street began.
In 2000, the Front Page News moved from West
Philadelphia to a new office located at 509 Pembroke Avenue East
Lansdowne, PA. Therein, Gerald McNeil, who was doing independent radio
news and TV news, joined up with Van Stone Downing to manage Web Master
production of the newspaper.
The Front Page News was slowed down in
2002, when the alleged Great Judge Corruption raged through the Media
Delaware County Courthouse, overseeing hearings in both East Lansdowne
and Media city, the Front Page News was almost destroyed, due to Van
Stone’s estranged spouse and Media Delaware County District Board of
Judges Honorable Barry C. Dozor, Honorable Maureen F. Fitzpatrick and
Honorable Michael F.X. Coll legal issues. \
In 2003 the Front Page News mixed community news with talk radio
introducing the Van Stone Productions Foundation, Inc. Philly VSP
TV/Radio Youth News. VSP TV/Radio represented West Philadelphia Van
Stone Radio Station at the Front Page News. A full Internet powered
radio station began to discuss Ex-offenders, the unjust imprisoned and
civil rights.
However, WVSR and The Front Page News came to a complete stop in
September 27, 2004 when Van Stone was wrongfully imprisoned to Delaware
County Prison, George Hill Prison, by both Judges Dozor and Fitzpartick.
After Gerald McNeil and a few family friends of Stone frantically
tried to bail Stone out of jail but to no success Stone was ordered to
return to Delaware County Prison for 6 consecutive weekends followed by
legal eviction from the East Lansdowne office.
The Front Page
News reappeared 18 days later from Stone’s September 27, 2004 wrongful
imprisonment with an editorial declaring Media Delaware County
Courthouse as allegedly corrupt. The newspaper’s founder, editor,
publisher and owner, Van Stone, was exonerated by Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania Family Court and led the city’s awareness on Judge
Brutality, Anti-Domestic Violence and Lowering the Murder Rate in big
cities interest.
The Front Page News lead Van Stone to become an
Icon dealing with political analyst stories. A native Philadlephian who
first acquired an interest in newspaper companies in 1988, Stone gained
full control of the newspaper in 2007 and guided it into
social-welfare, educational and economical fighting tools for the under
privileged and abused.
Newspaper Reporter, Editor, and Community Activist Diane White, who
is from Harrisburg, PA, came aboard the Front Page News during the
strong restart in the same year of 2007.

Front Page news grew dramatically during the feature stories about
alleged corruption, evil acts, and courts orders by Media Delaware
County Courthouse and Philadelphia Family Court Judges who seemed to

Stories were covered very closely by the Investigative Reporter Team,
(an Front Page News I-Team) uncovering alleged unfair treatment of
African-Americans, women and children by Judges Dozor, Fitzpatrick and
Coll based on classism and separatist.

on just tires and how recycling tires in Philadelphia would be
something to better community education and economic improvement for
Black Americans, Greek Americans, Bangladesh Americans, Irish Americans,
Jewish Americans and Latino Americans.
Front Page News participation in production of Just Tires (Trash) into
jobs also became good for youth in the community service and the school
environment. PFPN used this idea about tire transformation involved in
solar energy to help School dropout students. PFPN goal is to work with
energy related companies in Philadelphia such as Gulf, Sunoco, GP, etc.
PFPN seeks out small energy companies that produce or sell gas.

problem of Philadelphia tire trash.
PFPN was the first Black American newspaper online to discuss how tire
trash can be, the car, the bicycle, the toy, the shopping carts, the
skate boards and whatever else that involves tires. PFPN made rubber a
key word to the Mayor of Philadelphia, Michael Nutter, advising the
Mayor to produce rubber recycling as a Philadelphia staple.
PFPN showed how rubber tires are so hard to get rid of. Many folks in
Philadelphia dump tires in the streets, lots, and even business areas
because they don't know what else to do with tires. PFPN showed how
there are tire repair businesses that need help with this problem.
PFPN
was praised for articles showing how small businesses dumped used and
useless tires instead of destroy them properly. PFPN discussed how the
Philadelphia highways are full of tires dumped by the “little guy”
called the Tire RepairMan.

blame on them to hurt their business. PFPN questioned its readers and
the city of Philadelphia and universities, where does all those tires go
when the tire repair man dump them from his station? PFPN demonstrated
that the “little guy” does not only do tire dumping but the average
good citizen does it too.
PFPN produced further stories showing Mayor Nutter that their stories on
tire repair shops and the average citizen was help toward supporting
clean energy as a way for proper trash removal. Recycling tire trash
can be done using any type of clean energy.
Stone’s Incorruptible Icon Status Helping Victims
The story of Nancy Glover and Honorable Judge Maureen Fitzpatrick,
Honorable Judge Barry C. Dozor, and Honorable Judge Michael F.X. Coll is
one of almost unbelievable family court abuse and judge cruelty. In
fact, the testimony of the defendant Mrs.Glover incriminates many
others. Allegedly the others are certain Pennsylvania Justices at Media
Delaware County Family Courthouse. Although there are currently 24
Delaware County Board of Judges, 19 District Court Judges 5 Senior
District Court Judges, not to be confused with Delaware County
Magistrate Justices.
Allegations of blatant inconsiderateness in
the blood of Judges Maureen F. Fitzpatrick, Barry C. Dozor, and Michael
F.X. Coll are the norm. But according to a story covered by PFPN’s Van
Stone, Gerald McNeil, James Sullivan, Special Investigator John H.
Coleman, Jr Mrs. Glover about Fitzpatrick, putting it as respectfully as
PFPN could, Judge Fitzpatrick’s behavior was inconsistent with fair
citizenship.
Newspaper Icon Van Stone met Judge Fitzpatrick.
In several PFPN
reports Van Stone wrote about how if someone told Fitzpatrick that she
would be inconsistent to decide for the plan after attacking it, most
likely she would attack any way. An article showed while a family plan
is to save families, according to Glover, Fitzpatrick’s decision is most
often a report full of inconsistencies ending in fear.
Front Page News, with Van Stone Downing, reported how Glover was
terrified from the memories of a 9MM automatic to her head and threats
to kill the children. According to Nancy, her Judge, estranged husband
and his girlfriend were allegedly systematically mentally torturing
her.
According to Nancy, her abuser stopped paying 5 months of bills &
destroyed their heater. Fitzpatrick allowed an appraisal presented by
estranged husband as factual during divorce proceedings based on a ride
by from the street after the complete appraisal. Overlooked was an
engineers report concerning the structural damage caused allegedly by
her husband during domestic violence incidents reported to police into
consideration worth $150,000.00. This too happened according to Glover.
Cashed were all of Glover’s insurance checks and reimbursement checks
since 2000. These included doctors’ checks deposited in the
girlfriend’s account.
There was obstruction of evidence about an
attempt to get the deed to the additional property & sell it out
from under Nancy with the help of a friend.
PFPN with Van Stone Downing reported that in the end, Nancy alleges that
Judge Fitzpatrick would not permit Nancy to speak or present any facts.
And Nancy is to be removed from her home; she is disabled and uses a
wheelchair, in less than two months. Nancy’s is on her way to being
homeless and accompanied by her grandchild (Malia) and daughter (Amanda)
who also has chronic medical conditions.
Van Stone reported that
when such unjust things like this happen, as is the normal in Media
Delaware County Courthouse, Glover should have been allowed to file an
expedition to the next level of the court where the hearing would be put
back before a Judge that would allow her to fairly present here
testimony.
PFPN with Van Stone won praise for telling the story about Nancy’s
complaints of having problems swallowing and that she was in pain from a
broken collarbone were ignored by Judge Fitzpatrick.
PFPN with Van Stone gained even more praise as the article continued
telling about the next morning Judge Fitzpatrick seemed more concerned
with watching TV then getting Mrs. Glover help. There was no more
pleasure for Fitzpatrick to get from abusing the defendant so Nancy was
ordered to come up with thousands of dollars to pay or else be evicted
and see the house sold. Nancy could not get the loan so desperately
needed to save her home.
Mrs. Glover called Van Stone with the very
credible story and so Stone offered not only to help her in any way that
he could, making her story plain to the public. Van Stone soon made an
offering to Glover to act as a co-signer on a loan, putting up my own
house for her, if there is any legit lender that can help Nancy borrow
up to $250,000.00 thousand dollars or else Glover would be homeless in
one month. Furthermore, PFPN supported Glover’s push to become founder
of an organization that fought for fair rights of families forced to
enter family court in the U.S.
