The reporterette assigned to cover the Boston City Council meeting did due diligence and flagged the claims and photos as bogus.
Right is wrong, and wrong is right, in general, with the editors of the Boston Globe. "It it not the nature of the
evidence, but the seriousness of the charges". Especially if it makes non-Democrat/Communist/Socialists look back.
The editorial board suspended Jeff Jacoby back in 2000 for failing to dot the i's and cross the t's on an internet
humor piece he used in an article. Just so he missed the final run-up to the 2000 election. The editorial board has
a high number of rump rangers. They spike Jacoby's columns on the downside aspects of the gay lifestyle.
Oh, and I believe the Clinton administration promised a MA Republican congresscritter a nice puff-piece by the Globe's
Thomas Oliphant if he voted their way on something. He did and Oliphant delivered.
You're slighty wrong there. The Congressman was Peter Blute. When approached, he said "No Way" and immediately went to the newspapers and radio (Boston Herald, WRKO, and WBZ) and told them of the offer. It was a big story back then. Anyhow, he voted against their wishes, and was a target of theGlobe (and Oliphant) for the remainder of his career in Congress.
