FYI -
The New York Times owns the Boston Globe.
The New York Times was also a central player in the Rathergate memo.
Everyone knows that the Globe is the AAA affiliate of the NYT. However, they did stuff like this in the years before Punchie bought them. Patricia Smith and Mike Barnacle were both bagged for plagarism. Someone at the Globe (reputedly either Barnacle or Will McDonough) provided company stationary to disgraced FBI agent John Connolly for a forged memo that was presented to a federal judge in the Whitey Bulger case. Speaking of Whitey...Barnacle used to write columns that depicted that psychopath as some sort of Robin Hood; protecting the old ladies and keeping drugs out of Southie. In reality, Whitey controlled all of the drug traffic in the neighborhood and the old ladies were scared as hell of him. The NYT may own the Globe, but the stench ot corruption was there long before they hit town.
