Save the Globe
It appears the Boston Globe, a liberal rag owned by the New York Times is in some financial difficulty and Senator John Kerry says the potential demise of this reliable leftist newspaper is unacceptable. He is going to save it. O.K. Does this mean he is going to ask his uber-wealthy wife Terresa to throw some of her money toward propping it up? Bake sales or car washes by school students? Of course not. He is going after tax payers to ante up to save the Boston Globe because there will be serious consequences for our democracy where diversity of opinion and strong debate are paramount if this paper is allowed to fail. Poppycock. Read the sad story here in a more conservative paper which is not in financial trouble.
