Howie Carr Boycott Update: Huge Boost From Globe’s Vennochi Today

By

The reputation castrations Howie needlessly inflicts over and over and over again are pathetic.

Howie is the guy that makes you feel sorry for Jason Angiulo because Howie has never stopped reminded us that his father called him a dope once. Big Deal!

He makes you feel sorry for the families of the small time pol who gets arrested for a one time OUI. Why, because Howie will never miss an opportunity to remind people, meaning his family and friends over and over and over and over….

He makes me feel sorry for Mayor Menino. And really, why should anyone feel sorry for Menino?

He makes me wonder how Tom Finneran keeps from losing control and just smashing him.

Since he first came on the scene so many years ago he has made me wonder on far too many occasions what his mother thinks of his career of mean nastiness covered with a school boy’s memory of historical facts.  

Real cool what he would say about George Keverian’s weight over and over and over and over and over and over and…. Or the ass size of a local or state woman pol, or going through divorce papers of some poor schmuch and saying nah nah nah nah nah. over and over and over and over and over……

Let’ stay focused people.

If you are new here please read David’d great summary with links to the posts that got Howie so mad.

  1. I agree ErnieB3, JoanattheGlobe is the best at the Globe…the current political reporters can’t measure up to her. When JoanattheGlobe was on the political beat at the State House, Howie Carr was there, too, and she got a front row seat for his self-absorbed nonsense.

    p>I only had one question today after reading her column in which she claims that you should use your name in order to own your opinions…and using a pseudonym is a mask of cowardice or deceit.  What is the difference between BMG allowing people to state opinions under a made-up screen name and a Globe reporter printing the opinions (as facts) of someone they call “unnamed source” or “co-worker who did not want to be identified” or “unidentified co-conspirator”…if they want to give their opinions to a reporter shouldn’t the reporter make them “own them”???

    p>I think people blog with usernames for the same reasons “Unnamed sources” choose not to be named.

  2. She cares about protecting the media status quo. She wants print media to have the shield law, but not the blogosphere. She’s more willing to stick up for the jackass Howie Carr (because he’s a part of the establishment) than you.

    p>Trust me, I’ve had too many dealings with Joanie. There’s no twelfth dimensional chess going on. She thinks she should have media powers that you shouldn’t, beyond her budget, robust pay check and pension.

    p>I’m glad her column will help in your fight against Howie Carr, but there’s a long term battle being fought here that’s much, much more important. The mainstream media should not be given any special shield powers that the blogosphere doesn’t have. Period.

    LOVE HIM or hate him, Howie Carr puts his name over his rantings.

    That’s not true of the blogger on Bluemassgroup.com who called upon readers to boycott Carr’s WRKO radio show and its advertisers.

    “Ernie’s” critique of Carr’s act as a generally mean, narrow-minded, liberal-hating, chauvinist and homophobe is accurate. He could also add Globe basher.

    But, everyone knows exactly what Carr is trying to do: shock and awe his readers with outrageous opinions. And Carr doesn’t hide his bitterness behind a pseudonym. His agenda is clear: readers and ratings.

    “Ernie’s” is much more of a mystery.
