The Boston Globe didn’t.

  2. There are a zillion stories every day that make it into the Globe but not the Herald. (OK, maybe a little hyperbole.) The reasons are obvious: the Globe has a far larger reporting staff and more pages to fill.

    So when the Herald covers a (juicy) story that the Globe misses, you make the point that it’s nice to have two newspapers in town?

    Cheap shot, IMHO.

    1. Michael: I’m not even sure whom you’re accusing me of taking a cheap shot against — the Globe for missing a story or the Herald because I wrote a snide headline. As you say, the Globe has a far larger staff. Given that, I would argue that it’s worth a mention when it misses a story of local importance.

  3. Illegal bedrooms and possible gambling operation in Chinatown? I believe the word we’re all groping for (so to speak) is ‘whorehouse.’
