More doom for the MSM.

I think I'll go back to bed now. I couldn't sleep before, but NOW I can. Thanks for the great article, MRFF.

Damn!

Wonderful and humorous article.

I didn't know guys like Howie Carr existed in the state of Kerry/Kennedy -- Massoftwoshits.

Semper Fi

Here is another article on Ted Kennedy -

The Kennedy KGB letter

Entertaining column, but comes down to a restatement of Raoul's First Law.

In the pages of the Globe, everyone must be coddled, except of course Roman Catholic heterosexuals without trust funds who were born and raised here, most of whom are assumed to be guilty of some sort of heinous hate crime.

I used to live in Boston, and man, ain't that the truth.

Ted Kennedy, a spoiled rich kid, writes the spoiled rich kid who owns the Globe, begging him not to fire any more of the spoiled rich kids who write the fake-news stories for the Globe’s dwindling readership of spoiled rich-kid moonbats. Apparently, Sen. Kennedy considers some newspapers more worthy of salvation than others. Remember what he tried to do to this tabloid and the New York Post back in 1987, just because a certain scribe was describing him as Fat Boy. Teddy had one of his crapulous Senate pals sneak a late-night rider into a Senate budget bill to force Rupert Murdoch - whom Ted kept calling Rudolph Murdoch - to sell both papers if he wanted to retain his more-profitable TV stations in Boston and New York. With his bill of attainder, Teddy was willing to put maybe 1,500 people - mostly blue-collar, almost all union - out of work just to choke off different voices. So much for celebrating diversity. But now Ted and his gaggle of PC sycophants harrumph that it is their duty to help preserve quality journalism in Boston.

What's that? (How will I learn anything if I don't ask questions?) ;-)

You missed all his great columns on Kerry during the campaigns? He's been "following Kerry's career with interest" for lo, these many years -- he may not know where all the bodies are buried, but it's not for lack of trying!

Actually, a couple of his Kerry columns were written for the NY Post and were posted here.

Thank you -- I'm glad I asked!

Pinging the Dinosaur Media DeathWatch™ List with a Sunday Morning Howie Carr column. It recaps part of the NY Times Company's business story that is in reality a slow-motion train wreck.

I'm recalling the train wreck scene from Cecil B. DeMille's 1952 Oscar winning The Greatest Show on Earth. Look familiar?

I saw this earlier --- it's the bees knees...lol.

Yep, and you can listen to his radio show on-line. A show of sarcastic humor, pulls no punches. Several years ago he did his show from Chappaquiddick, the place where fat Teddy drove off a bridge with his girl friend in the car. Being a real hero, Teddy left her in the car to drown.

LOL - great stuff.

I've missed Howie Carr all these years too... If you have a ping list for him, please add me.

1962. That was the year one of the Globe's Irish tokens was sent to the White House to negotiate with President Kennedy over how the story of Teddy's expulsion from Harvard for cheating would be played on the front page before his Senate campaign began. JFK held out for a two-column headline, below the fold. He got his way, and so has his brother, ever since.

No, now the media has been trained to squash it themselves, look at the Reid story for starters.

Good mention here..............

"There’s a German word that’s always posted on conservative Web sites whenever another corrupt liberal newspaper goes into its death throes. The word is schaudenfreude, which essentially means taking pleasure in the downfall of someone else, especially a bunch of sanctimonious carpetbaggers who’ve got it coming to them, big-time, in spades. "
