Unbiased?! You've got to be shitting me! Second only to the NYT for blatant one-sided reporting. If they aren't skewing the news, they're making it up. Latest casualty, Ron Borges. That makes it 4 or 5 plagiarists/fiction writers fired/supended...damn it's so hard to tell when it happens more frequently than a Ted "Every Man For Himself" Kennedy misstep.
Once employed Tom Oliphant, liberal quack and fashion disaster. Mr. Oliphant, whose voice alone could make a hummingbird sleep, defended Don Imus' latest racial bomb by implying he couldn't hate blacks because he gives money to asthma causes, his wife works at an East Harlem community center, and he once interviewed Bill Russell. A more hypocritical position this dickhead couldn't take.
Frankly, the only reason this rag is still in operation is because it's "competion" is the Boston Herald. I mean, when one of your top columnists is Margery Eagan and the paper's main attraction is who the "girls" on the "Inside Track" are pissing on, your shit is pretty weak. Still, Howie Carr and Joe Fitz (best columnist in the city!) at least bring it out of the "irrelevant" category, and its sports page is better than average.
All that said, the Globe's sports section is one of the best in the country and it's somewhat worth reading for that alone. That is when Dan Shaughnessy isn't blowing himself up and Ron "Pats Suck" Borges isn't writing, period.
