The Late Boston Globe (Howie Carr Edition)

At about 2:25 Saturday morning, the lateworking staff at Campaign Outsider noticed this tweet from the indefatigable Dan Kennedy:

Hearing there’s a big Boston media story brewing. Don’t know enough to say more. Saturday Globe?

That’s the correct punctuation, Dan, since at 2:30 a.m. Saturday the Boston Globe website (trust me) still featured Friday’s paper.

What is that – a joke?

Campaign Outsider 2:35 a.m. Update®:

Lo! and behold: The Saturday Globe finally hits the web. With this juicy piece:

WRKO suspends Carr for barbs against station

Lede:

Conservative talk radio host Howie Carr of WRKO 680 AM has been suspended for a week, effective yesterday, for publicly and repeatedly using his program to bad-mouth the station, a company executive said.

Julie Kahn, vice president and marketing manager for Entercom Boston, which owns the station, said Carr’s behavior toward his employer has become increasingly caustic and intolerable.

Just like his behavior toward everybody else.

Hey, ‘RKO – tell me again: What’s the problem here?
