Right wing Boston Herald paper have their little panties in a twist...

[edbermac]

The nerve of those porn purveyors over at the left-wing Boston Globe daring to compete with the "fair-and-balanced-as-Fox" Herald...speaking of which, doesn't Rupert 'Moral Values' Murdoch own English papers featuring the topless Page 3 girl? Just wondering...





"The New York Times Co. is shrugging off the link between a freebie newspaper it's buying into and a Swedish porn purveyor that telecasts skin flicks across northern Europe.

Times Co. spokeswoman Catherine Mathis denied the company's plan to buy a 49 percent stake in Metro International's Boston daily would put the Gray Lady in bed with Modern Times Group - the porno-pushing parent of Metro's empire.

Modern Times controls 28 percent of Metro International, which is the parent company of Metro Boston. The Swedish Modern Times also controls TV1000 - a controversial network that telecasts sex films and a wide range of other programming.

``The Times Co. owns neither Metro International nor Modern Times Group, and does not propose to own either,'' Mathis said in a statement, also adding that the Times Co. does not ``have responsibility for the other business activities of Metro International, its investors or other business partners.''

3. The Herald was always rightwing but when they changed from broadsheet

to the "easy to read" format they really went over the edge.

4. How on earth does a right wing paper survive in Boston?
