Warren trounces rival, girds for nasty campaign

The Boston Globe headline Warren trounces rival, girds for nasty campaign, tells you more about how this newspaper is going to cover this campaign than it tells you about external reality.

I commented on their web site:

“girds for nasty campaign” Well at least the Boston Globe is honest about how they intend to cover this campaign.

For some reason, perhaps goaded by their competition with The Boston Herald, they have decided that the way to cover this election is to get down and dirty. As I have said before, once a newspaper gets a story wrong, they never let it go. The Globe never fails to insert the phony Native American Heritage issue, that they fell for, into every story they run.

They are bound and determined to make this a real issue, no matter how foolish it may make them look as they fail at this attempt to invent an issue. Apparently they are willing to risk what is left of the newspaper’s reputation, rather than admit that the Republicans duped them into covering this bit of their propaganda campaign. If I didn’t understand where the Globe’s corporate interests lie, I might think I was back in the days when Pravda was the laughing stock of the west.

I can be almost as persistent unmasking The Boston Globe‘s gutter journalism as they are in promoting a non-story so that they don’t have to admit that they were wrong.


Elizabeth Warren Senator for Massachusetts | MA Democratic Convention Video

Here is the video that Elizabeth Warren used at the Democratic Party Convention in Springfield yesterday. This is what introduced her address to the convention prior to the vote.


This video and her speech got a rousing reception. I think the fact that she got almost 95% of the vote showed how the delegates (and alternates) felt about her.

I was lucky enough to be promoted from alternate to delegate so I could be among that 95% casting our votes for Warren.

We wanted to unite behind her candidacy so we and the rest of the party could devote all our energy to pushing her campaign forward from now until the November election.

Governor Deval Partick’s terrific speech reminded us that the effort does not end in November. We have to build a movement to back up Elizabeth Warren’s efforts in the Senate with grass roots support for our Democratic principles.
