Boston Globe Sports New Low

Will McDonough must be spinning in his grave. Here's what passes as "news" at the Boston Globe these days. They decided to dress someone up in a New York Giants jersey and other Giants stuff to see what reaction he'd get. It's only technically that the Globe isn't a tabloid I guess.

Immediately after the reporter exited the store, expressions from passersby changed. Some people whispered from behind. Others broke out in condescending, knowing smiles.

Hard news indeed. I'm surprised that the word reporter isn't in scare quotes.

This is an embarrassment for the once respected Globe sports section. Not only that but some of the quotes don't really pass the smell test. Is it any wonder that people now get their news - sports and otherwise - from the Internet instead of places like the Boston Globe.
