>>Also noteworthy: Boston Globe Magazine writer Charlie Pierce's irate take on the way the paper's crisis has been covered by the Herald, which has combined strong reporting with gleeful malice. (That day's Herald offered 10 suggestions for saving the Globe. Here's number seven: "Persuade Legislature to mandate all fish must be wrapped in Metro section.") "I've never been more embarrassed by the time I spent at the Herald [as a sportswriter] than I have been in the last two weeks," Pierce later told me. ("I guess tough coverage is only okay if the Globe happens to be the paper dishing it out," replies a long-time Herald employee, calling the Globe's coverage of the Herald's 1982 near-demise "a relentless barrage the entire town interpreted as a calculated attempt to put us in our grave.")

Geez, there must be some sort of anti-bullying legislation the little dimwits could use to protect themselves...
Is this the Charlie Pierce who used to cover sports? I know there are two CP’s who write for the Glob. If it’s the sports one, have fun in the unemployment line with you’re Hawaiian shirt and scraggly ass beard. He’s a complete jackass...
