From our Massachusetts Casino Roulette desk

The Great Massachusetts Casino Bakeoff has entered a new phase with the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe crying foul over the state’s decision to open the Southeastern Massachusetts region (which the tribe thought it had locked up) to commercial casino bidders.

Immediate result: This TV spot the Wampanoags are currently running on Boston  stations.

Of course, the whole “Special Report” setup is designed to give the spot more credibility than it actually deserves.

But why get technical about it.
