Has the Boston Globe Become Tabloid Trash?

That's sure what it felt like when I looked at the "news" they offered an the posts I made yesterday. In fact, they are even worse than the checkout counter crap because they are so harmful to the thought and debate in this country.

I apologize to readers who come here. I really don't know where to go with this blog now. I've reiterated many times that its original purpose (in addition to 9/11 Truth) was to prevent Republicans from stealing the 2006 elections and expound upon Iraq.

I also wanted to give the world a view on what Americans get for news, and how this particular American reacts.

Unfortunately, the last two years have been an extremely painful and eye-opening experience, especially in regards to my views on AmeriKa's MSM. Their credibility -- which was already damaged when I began -- has been totally shot. I'm so tired of the agenda pushing and the lies, I'm really at a loss, folks.

I'll post because I purchased, but it is with a heavy heart.

The first entry gave me the same feeling that I had yesterday:

"Kin stabbed in washing machine dispute

A feud over a washing machine last night in Dorchester left a man in critical condition at Boston Medical Center. Two brothers-in-law were arguing about the appliance at a home on Harwood Street when the violence erupted, police said. Luther Boid, 42, was arrested in stabbing of the unidentified victim, Officer Eddy Chrispin said. Witnesses reported that the two men had been arguing for several days and that the victim had been drinking, police said.

Yeah, drinking never helps anything.

Suspect takes steps, strokes in escape try

A theft suspect performed a mini triathlon Tuesday night as he tried to elude officers by pedaling, swimming, and running away, police said. Jason B. Duncan, 29, of Somerville took a bike on Commercial Street in the North End at about 10 a.m. and was spotted later on Hanover Street, police said. Officers attempted to approach him as he rode over the North Washington Street Bridge, but he jumped into Boston Harbor, police said in a statement. Duncan swam to the side and ran down a walkway but was caught after a foot pursuit, police said. He faces charges of receiving stolen property, possession of burglarious tools, and resisting arrest, said Officer Eddy Chrispin, a police spokesman.

At least he made the cops work for their $$$.


Lawyer gets 9 years for fraud, tax evasion

A Princeton man was sentenced Tuesday to nine years in prison on federal wire fraud and tax-evasion charges. Prosecutors say Alan Mason, 61, was also sentenced to three years of probation and ordered to pay more than $6.6 million in restitution. Authorities say that Mason, a lawyer and real estate investor, took money from banks that was supposed to pay off liens on properties for closings he was handling and that instead he used the money for personal purposes. Mason defrauded more than 10 lenders of more than $6.6 million. He also evaded paying more than 43 million in taxes by hiding his involvements in various real estate trusts and bank accounts. (AP)

Isn't that great, as Massachusetts taxpayers get socked every damn day!?


Dodds found unresponsive in jail cell

Former New Hampshire congressional candidate Gary Dodds, who has been in jail since July 3 following his arrest on charges that he assaulted his wife, has been hospitalized. WMUR-TV reported yesterday that Dodds was found unresponsive in his jail cell and was taken to Wentworth-Douglass Hospital in Dover. One of Dodds's lawyers, J.P. Nadeau, told the Portsmouth Herald that Dodds was conscious, but unresponsive when Nadeau tried to speak to him at the hospital. (AP)

I really have no sympathy for any political scumbags at this point.

Make 'em swing, and the rest will fall into line.


R.I. man held on pornography charge

A 43-year-old former Framingham resident was arraigned and held on $50,000 cash bail Tuesday in Dedham on one count of possession of child pornography. Police said Kenneth Conti, 43 of Johnston, R.I., had photos of child pornography at his workplace. Conti's employer reported the alleged images to the attorney general's office, which then conducted an investigation. Within Conti's cubicle, investigators found sexually explicit photos of children in binders and on USB drives, they said. Conti is scheduled to appear in court Aug. 20 for a pretrial hearing.

I just don't want to hear any more about sexual perversions, folks.

What's perverse to me is the mass-murder of millions and its approval by the same "newspaper" shoveling me this shit.


And if America is so rife with this shit, then we are a sick society that is doomed.


Rabid fox bites 10-year-old girl

Three residents of the Berkshires, including a 10-year-old girl, received medical treatment after an encounter with a rabid fox. The fox was smothered and killed shortly after Sunday's incident by the girl's father and a visiting friend. The fox's body was transported to the state Department of Public Health laboratory in Boston, where testing confirmed it had rabies. Jeff Moxon of Pittsfield tells the Berkshire Eagle that the fox bit his daughter, Deborah, on the right foot. The Moxons, as well as family friend Pasquale Arace, who was visiting the family, were all given rabies shots at Berkshire Medical Center. Deborah says the fox bit her after she stuck out her leg to protect her 2-year-old sister. (AP)

Those shots can't have been nice for the kids. They inject you in the gut and it hurts like hell.


Mother to return to face abuse charges

A New Hampshire woman accused of brutally abusing her stepdaughter has agreed to return to the state from Florida to face charges. Cara LeBlanc, 29, appeared in court yesterday in Florida, after police arrested her Tuesday. She is accused of beating the 8-year-old child for nine hours last week, repeatedly throwing her down a flight of stairs. In court yesterday, LeBlanc waived an extradition hearing. (AP)

Again with the abuse! I read crap like this and I get to the point of saying just fry 'em! Barring that, throw them in a hole and let the non-violent drug offenders out.


Weekly newspaper folding

NEWPORT, N.H. --
The Argus Champion, a weekly newspaper that has covered New Hampshire's Lake Sunapee area since 1823, will fold at the end of this month. In a letter to readers in this week's edition, Publisher Harvey Hill said the newspaper has been losing money each month. The Argus has a circulation of about 4,500. Publishing for 185 years, its website said the paper is one of the oldest weekly newspapers in New Hampshire.

Considering all the crap stories I have to wade through everyday, I can see why the newspapers are going down the toilet!


And this isn't going to help:

Wall Street Journal says it will cut 50 editorial jobs

News Corp.'s The Wall Street Journal said it will cut about 50 editorial jobs and overhaul the way it handles editing in print and online. The cuts, disclosed in a memo from editor in chief Robert Thomson, follow News Corp. chairman Rupert Murdoch's comments that the newspaper had too many editors. At the All Things Digital conference in May, Murdoch said more than eight editors, on average, touch a Journal story before it's published. At the same time, the company will add 95 positions at Dow Jones Newswires (Bloomberg)."
