The story about the memo is here.
Amazing.
Thanks for the link to the prior-day story about which Howie is riffing! Very interesting.
For readers from other climes, Brattle Street is an arty/trendy street near Harvard Square and Harvard University.
That is the sad state of the media in this country
Awesome, a well deserved broadside.
Awesome, a well deserved broadside.
The Boston Globe also printed the internet porn photos (that had ALREADY been exposed as fakes) as "evidence" of that US "troops" were "raping" "Iraqi" women.
They are a laughing stock and unfit for lining a birdcage.
As long as there are bird cages, there will be subscriptions to the Globe.
I wish the Boston Globe, the New York Times, the Philadelphia Inquirer and the rest of that scumbag Democrat ilk would hurry up and die. Just die and be gone forever.

Boston Globe ran FAKE Rape photos from.... Nation of Islam (Boston Herald 5/13/04 )
A week later AFTER the hoax, the drive by media was still playing their election year games.
Patricia Smith was fired shortly before Barnicle for making up stories.
The Glob couldn't slap Barnicle on the wrist after firing a female of color for doing similar things.
(Maybe the offenses were plagiarisms, it's been a while. Barnicle fills in for Matthews now and then, btw.)
Oh, and Jayson Blair worked/interned at the Glob...
Well, I, for one, don't want my canary reading that tripe.
I am assuming that they would white-out the inaccuracies. Replace when the only thing visible is the date.
Usually, any retractions are on page 22, right next to the bra ads....
The elite owners of ABCNNBCBS and publishers of the major dinosaur fishwraps are the modern day, Norman Bates. They are trying to keep the corpses alive by refusing to admit that they are dead and to bury them.
Barnicle was already on probation for plagiarizing Mike Royko.
Long before that, I thought Mike Barnicle's best stories were fabrications... stuff right out of the Urban Legends homepage ... but he was kinda amusing if you took him with a couple pounds of salt.
Barnicle qua Barnicle is kinda insipid so he fits right in with the Globe playbook. I was one of hundreds of people who canceled his subscription after the fake rape photograph story. I've never looked back.
I thought a couple of the more interesting "incidents" that he "documented" would make good tv story-lines.
How little did I know...
