The Boston Herald is not a real paper people

[iceman_419]

It is basically nothing more than the weekly standard. It is not Boston's home town newspaper and is nothing more than garbage. All is does is blast Kerry, no matter what, and has no insightful views on any topic. If someone tells you that Kerry's hometown newspaper supports Bush, tell them no, and the Boston Globe is Kerry's hometown newspaper and it supports "oh gosh" Kerry. The boston herald is garbage and I'm tired of hearing about it. They are journalists there they are idiots with a computer.

1. very true

i finaLLy switched from the heraLd to the gLobe (heraLd has the best sports coverage) and my BP has never been better. funny, that the heraLd endorsed bush (you knew they wouLd) since they made a big charade of endorsing john kerry for the dem primary.

weLcome to DU. :hi:

2. agreed

But I think we are making too much of the Crawford paper's endorsement of President-elect Kerry... oops premature...

Anyway, I was in Waco last year and went to Crawford to see where * spends all of his time while AWOL and the towns "paper" is like the penny saver and they give it away for free. Its a classified rag. I think its a losing argument to knock the Boston Herald while focusing on the Crawford Charmin or whatever they call it.

I am a little worried about the Lowell Sun. Is that a conservative tampon? Why would they back *? Are they out of their minds? That is a paper with a circulation of 50k plus... what the hell are they thinking? :shrug:

4. Lowell Sun is conservative

It trashed Kerry in his first run for Senate (I think it was Senate) way back and has trashed him ever since. No surprises there.

11. The Crawford paper's endorsement of Kerry has a special significance. It

underlines Bush's four years of failure.

3. I'm not sure it is as respectable

as the Weekly Standard. It is probably more like the National Enquirer.

The Boston Globe is "Kerry's hometown paper". The Herald is not a newspaper. It is a rag.

5. That's well and good, but...

http://powerreporting.com/knight/ma_boston_herald.html

Ranked 40th in the nation out of more than 1,400 papers in terms of circulation... Can't just blow them off. Well maybe we can, Mass is an enlightened state and has had the brains to elect Ted Kennedy AND John Kerry... The sad thing is when Kerry is elected president, Mass is going to get stuck with a Repug Senator because of that bastard Rominy... or however ou spell that clown's name.

7. I am not sure the Romney thing is decided yet....

The legislature was fighting it a while back...

8. Actually, no...

Legislation was passed that the Governor will not appoint Senator Kerry's replacement. There will be a special election held.

I am proud that, not only are both of our Senators good liberal Democrats, but our entire congressional delegation is democratic.

The most likely winner for Senator Kerry's seat will be from that delegation. There will certainly be Republican opposition, and some of it may be strong, so we will have to continue to work hard after November 2, but we are up to the task.

6. Believe me, The Herald is pure shit. I look at it sometime

on the subway, when somebody leaves a copy behind. It's a fucking tabloid... Doesn't matter what they say....

[fishface]

9. It's the local conservative tabloid rag.

My dog even refused to shit on it while I was housebreaking her.

10. Speaking as a Bostonian...

....the Herald is complete trash. It's considered a tabloid and is the equivalent of Rupert Murdoch's NY Post.

12. No kidding

I live in MA and I see that screaming headline every day. It makes me want to puke at the levels of Pig ass kissing they stoop to.

13. Their cover today was DISGUSTING

The printed a picture of the girl who got shot by police after the Red Sox game, sprawled on the ground and all bloody. SICKENING.
