To all you silly-billies at the Globe - enough already with the groveling. Self-pity is not good box office. Stop weeping into your brandy Alexanders and start looking for a job - a real job.
And no, I won’t be at your “Solidarity” rally today at Faneuil Hall. But I can imagine the signs - “In Barney Frank We Trust,” “Viva Fidel, Hugo y Teddy!” and of course, “Hands Off My Trust Fund.”
Outside, bowtied bumkissers will be chanting in unison, “Hey hey ho ho, Globe-a-phobia’s got to go.”
The Globe union is running buses up from Morrissey Boulevard, a wise move, considering that a lot of the blow-in Ivy League drifters they’ve hired over the past 15 years or so probably couldn’t find their way downtown on a bet, although I’m sure they’d do just fine in the Hamptons.
At the top of the rally press release is the seal of the Boston Newspaper Guild, which includes these puzzling words: “We built this newspaper.”
Is that really something to be bragging about - you built a newspaper that fell asleep for 20 years, printing nothing but left-wing claptrap and paeans to gay marriage while losing $50 million in 2008, and maybe as much as $85 million this year?
If you built that newspaper, then you richly deserve to be fired.
Now one of the Globe’s parrots, a gigolo named John Forbes Kerry, steps up and says, “It’s difficult to imagine Massachusetts without the Globe and I’m not going to try.”
That’s OK, Liveshot, I’ll try to imagine it enough for both of us. But hey, Liveshot’s rooting for the Globe for the same reason John Henry is. The only difference is, the Red Sox [team stats] owner is candid about his own self-interest - he doesn’t want to lose that crew of sports-page homers who cheerlead for his team, any more than the corrupt Democrats at the State House want to lose their pom-pom wielding shills from the Globe.
You think I’m kidding? Check this out from the Globe in 2003:
“If she had lived, Mary Jo Kopechne would be 62 years old. Through his tireless work as a legislator, Edward Kennedy would have brought comfort to her in her old age.”
That’s not journalism, that’s hagiography, which means, lives of the saints.
Sorry Globies, but your death throes are nothing less than the popping of a festering, pus-filled boil on the gluteus maximus of Massachusetts. To quote, Oscar Wilde, “It would take a heart of stone not to laugh.”
All these years, the Globe has been telling us how evil capitalism is. Now they really know. They were against corporate welfare - until now. They were for corporate democracy - except for their masters at The New York Times [NYT], where incompetent heirs filled up the newsrooms with their fellow clueless rich kids as they steered their dreary left-wing sheets right over the cliff.
My only regret is that Ray Shamie, Ed King, Dapper O’Neil and Jimmy Kelly didn’t live to see this day.
Type INIT DP: at the command console of the ATEX system and all disk drives on the network will initialize to zeroes. Then turn out the lights and shut the door.
"It's over"
For this sect of quislings, yes.
OTOH for those opposed to the propaganda the other Liberal-Socialist slime-balls who --for the moment-- survive and continue spreading the manure?
It's only the beginning, the fight's just now commencing. ;^)
Liberalism goes terminal.
Hey John Kerry, your ketchup heiress wife has $800 million or so. Spare a bit of her money and buy the paper. It’ll be a good investment. Really.
(Smiles at thought of Kerry losing hundreds of millions!)
Ahh Boston.... if you were now patriots rather than loyalists life could go on
BWWWHAAAAAAA!!!
And because the advise is the neighborly thing to do, no charge.
BWWWWHAAAAAA!!!
Priceless.
Unless a state run paper is produced I see no place for these outdated pontificators to hang their hat.
And what a beautiful thing it is.
I remember that one when it came out. Jaw-dropping, eye-popping, mind-blowing evil. A newspaper capable of that one deserves to be tossed on the refuse heap of history.
That is excellent
Why from Liberal-Socialists, of course.
"It emanates from the news papers."
Associated Press, Reuters, Bloomberg, ABCCBSNBCCNNMSNBC et all ad nauseum. Don't forget their role in all of the garbage.
Those entities feed the harpies, my friend. ;^)
"The college professors rely on the news papers for their lectures."
Or, vice-versa.
Right?
I mean, they're all cut --literally-- from the same bolt of cloth.
"News papers allowed these creatures to lie and pontificate and produce dribble."
They most certainly did.
No way to treat your own amendment, is it.
"Like terrorist the only way to defeat them is to cutoff their funding."
Uh-huh, while promoting a socialist agenda they also certainly *like* that capitalist dough. Don't they.
"These paper writers may get jobs in government..."
Particularly the ones at the LASlimes.
"...but their days of setting the agenda are over."
Not in their minds, and that's what the fight's all about.
"Huffington post is only read by radicals, it is irrelevant. The Globe provided shelter and gave these hippies relevance. Now its over. They may continue to blog and they may write but what the produce will have the same exposure as the Harvard Law Review."
Hopefully less, much less. ;^)
"Schools of journalism which contain the most left wing of all radicals are cutting classes and being eliminated."
You sound as though you may have witnessed something, firsthand?
If so, pray-tell.
"Unless a state run paper is produced I see no place for these outdated pontificators to hang their hat."
Well John F'in Kerry {who served in Viet Nam...} appears to feel, otherwise.
The august senator, apparently, hasn't lent too much thought to how he'll create [the] legislation forcing people to buy the rag(s) he'd like bailed out.
Oh well, he might've succeeded had not his Messiah blown the proverbial wad.
Too bad, how sad.
You seem to be someone who has a passion from tracking the deadbeat quisling mediot's and their antics.
Find forum member abb, he can be found on these -- http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2235516/posts -- threads.
You'll be among good company. ;^)
It's turned into a NYTimes bashing rally. One speaker [an afl/cio rep] said that the owner of the Times should 'share his millions first'.
Now, some city official is saying how the Globe is such and institution, how all these employees are your neighbors and friends...
Small croud for the event, but it's being held in the middle of the biggest tourist trap in the city, so it's hard to tell who is really supporting the thing or who's just 'passing through'.
Or, vice-versa.
Right?
I mean, they're all cut —literally— from the same bolt of cloth.
There are only so many jobs for college professors. The newspapers provided food and comfort for these enemies in the thousands. Most college professors are just lazy journalists anyway.
Great idea - it would be such a soppy luv affair with dems that it might shame the other papers into "getting real"....
Who're responsible for the spawn of millions of their protege's.
Wonder no more what those useless protege's are up to, we've all (here) witnessed the product of their advanced education countless times.
"The newspapers provided food and comfort for these enemies in the thousands."
Yup, you got it.
Not to be contentious, but let's make that 10s of millions. ;^)
"Most college professors are just lazy journalists anyway."
Unfortunately, you're spot-on.
Not good for the longevity of any Republic, is it.
OT: a little more about abb's Dinosaur Media DeathWatch threads.
Feel free to post anything you find pertinent, that's what JR (& Co) created this forum for.
However, IF what you post has anything to do with the Republic's Liberal-Socialst media *and/or* their quisling mediots on a separate thread?
Please find abb's latest thread, and post a link.
Then those of us who're specifically tracking the buggers will see it even if we miss your thread.
Now IF you need help posting link(s) et al?
Ask me or any number of the forum's members for help; OR, do a search for, HTML Sandbox.
Be glad to help.
The HDML SB offers every and anything one needs to be[come] proficient with the HTML programming language so they may accomplish what they want to do.
OK?
I noticed you're relatively new to the forum.
Permit me to be among the first to welcome you.
FR needs your kind of individual, the kind of individual our Republic used to treasure -- up until just recently. ;^)
