Baby I Won’t Drive Your Carr (Peter Gelzinis Edition)

Hark! The Herald! (U.S. Senate Debate-o-Rama)
The Boston Herald has officially become a perpetual self-promotion machine. Case in point: The feisty local tabloid 1) co-sponsored a UMass-Lowell debate last night between Democratic U.S. Senate candidates Ed Markey and Stephen Lynch (that’s good); 2) streamed it live … Continue reading

It’s Good To Live In A Two-Daily Town (Herald: City Haul In Menino’s Absence)

It’s Good To Live In A Two-Daily Town (DeOccupy Boston Edition II)
Another nifty compare-and-contrast in the local dailies regarding the legacy of this weekend’s Occubye Boston decampment (earlier edition here). Call it A Tale of Three Columnists. Columnist #1: Brian McGrory, whose front-page Sunday Boston Globe piece is the very model of an … Continue reading
