Some story on Obama in Today’s Boston Globe

By

The story quotes 2 college professors, a political consultant, and Al Sharpton.  Sort of. Actually it recycles a old Sharpton quote from a month-old Washington Times story about another subject. The consultant does not criticize Obama, but rather comments.

Only the professors, Melissa Haris Lacewell (professor of politics and African-American studies at Princeton) and Michael Eric Dyson (of Penn) are directly critical of Obama, though Dyson identifies himself as an Obama supporter.

So “some” in this case equates to 2 college professors.

Then why do “some” Boston Globe editors think this story merits the front page?

I am a conservative and a guest here at BMG, but mainstream media arrogance is offensive regardless of which candidate is being dissected in a non-story like this. I hope you BMG folks agree and will treat Globe stories about Republican candidates with equal caution.

  2. are aware of the Globe’s shortcomings.  In this case, “some” probably adds up to something like all but 2.
