A Demand for Progress on Climate

April 1, 2018 By drtucker

Globe, put down the pipe

March 6, 2018 By Charley on the MTA

Even yet still another baffling, curdled-milk editorial endorsing more gas pipeline infrastructure, torching (see what I did there) us anti-pipeline "faddists"; and going so far as to flame Sens. Jamie Eldridge and Marc Pacheco and AG … [Read more...]

Globe blows it on gas

January 11, 2018 By Charley on the MTA

Apparently we used more oil and coal in the cold snap. That's bad. The Globe's unsigned editorial has identified exactly the wrong culprit, and the wrong solution: Two culprits stand out. First, efforts by some environmental activists … [Read more...]

From Charlie Baker’s Lips to the Globe Editorial Board’s Ears

January 1, 2018 By hesterprynne

Can the Globe's news desk sue the Globe’s editorial board for plagiarism? Here's what I'm talking about. We're at halftime in the biennial legislative session and the Governor is feeling a little vexed at the "glacial pace" with which … [Read more...]

#DearJeff indicates civic despair

October 17, 2017 By Charley on the MTA

Like many, I'm very cool to the idea of bringing Amazon to Boston. It solves none of the problems and needs we have, and indeed would exacerbate many of them. We don't need 50,000 new high tech jobs with six-figure salaries. We don't have … [Read more...]

Will Globe Keep Ignoring Columnist’s Blatant Conflicts of Interest?

August 18, 2015 By thegreenmiles

Why is the Boston Globe letting former US Sen. John Sununu (R-NH) sell space on its op-ed page? As Eric Hananoki reports for Media Matters, the Globe has once again allowed Sununu to pen a column without disclosing he's a highly-paid … [Read more...]

Globe Launches Monthly “Cranky Old Columnists Lecture Climate Activists” Series

June 16, 2015 By thegreenmiles

Alex Beam's latest column is titled "Divestment is an empty gesture," which is apt since Beam's entire effort is empty - Tom Keane wrote essentially the same column in the same space six weeks ago. What is it about the fossil fuel … [Read more...]
