Boston had seven daily newspapers when I started out as a newspaper reporter in the early sixties. Now there are two.

Those papers were the old Boston Herald, the p.m. Boston Traveler, The Boston Globe, Boston Evening Globe, Boston American, Boston Recor

BTT for a very interesting bit of history.

Back in the 1960s the conservative Herald Traveler and the liberal Globe were locked in serious competition

The Globe had better comic strips.

Obsequious Washington reporters,

Redundant.

Didn't the plagiarists on Morning Joe work for one of these Boston papers? You know the guy who was fired for stealing the work of others?

Not the jerk who called Trump supporters 'fluffers' but the other lowlife ego-manic...

[humblegunner]

Since you supposedly wrote it, what stops you from posting the whole thing?

Mike Barnicle? He was fired by the Globe for making things up that he passed off as fact in his columns.

Obsequious Washington reporters, out to protect Obama, buried so many Obama administration scandals that they could have found work as morticians. Recall Obama’s first appearance at the White House Correspondents Dinner in 2009. The new president looked over some 3,000 loving reporters and celebrity guests and said, “Some of you covered me.” Then he added, “And all of you voted for me.” Obama’s lines brought down the house, the crowd clapping and cheering like the toadies that they are. Obama was right, they all had voted for him.
