Forget what the hardworking staff has said about the Boston Herald being a lively index to the Boston Globe.

Tuesday’s editions of the local dailies are a tale of two cities.

Exhibit A: Larry Summers Time

BH:

Summers praises Mass. plan Mitt wants to run away from

BG:

Summers seems willing to friend Facebook movie

To be fair, the Herald also had the Summers Facebook story. As you’d expect.

Exhibit B: Sal DiMasi Is Screwed (Maybe)

BG:

DiMasi codefendant makes plea deal

Salesman at crux of federal corruption case agrees to testify against former Mass. speaker

BH:

Lawyer: Salvatore F. DiMasi firm despite plea

Fellow defendant could testify against ex-speaker

To be fair, he will testify.

Exhibit C: Mass GOPniks Give Pres. Obama Advice

BH op-ed by Mitt Romney (R-Where’s My Checkbook?):

Obama Misery Index hits a record high

BG “Dear Mr. President” op-ed by Scott Brown (R-Where’s Your Checkbook?):

The job ahead of us

Pro-growth policies will put people back to work

To be fair, Brown and Romney agree: They want Obama to create jobs.

For them, especially.
