The Boston Globe: In the bag for Obama

By Michelle Malkin • October 2, 2008 11:46 AM

The Boston Globe, which refuses to correct its factually-challenged smear of Sarah Palin over rape kits, has an online store. According to its “About Us” page, the store was formed in 1996 “to make The Globe’s extensive photo archives and content available for both people and businesses…In addition to offering the historic images and content of New England’s largest newspaper, the Globe Store also has a growing selection of books and products that celebrate our region’s personalities, sports teams, history, and places.”

Along with Red Sox and Celtics paraphernalia and regional knick-knacks, the Boston Globe store is hawking this lovely product for $46.80 each (big hat tip – No Looking Backwards):

The description:

A powerful image, a powerful message….”carry a conversation” of hope and change. The Obama handbag made by FlashBag is the perfect head turning blend of fashion sense meets common sense. No handbag collection is complete this Fall without the Obama handbag.

Flashbags are wearable art handbags and accessories. They are handmade by women in Burlington, Vermont. Durable Flashbags are made from laminated images strengthened by a sandwich of eight sheets of recycled newsprint. Images cover every panel of the bag inside and out and each panel is embroidered with colorful swoops and swirls that complement the composition of each image.

I can’t seem to find the McCain bag. Can you?

While the newspaper sells lies about Sarah Palin, it peddles overpriced purses hyping Obama.

MSM: They’re in the tank. And they’re in the bag.

Bias? What bias? Conflict of interest? What conflict of interest? Liberal media? What liberal media?

But I am asking if the college kids support obama then, who are the people indoctrinating the kids? I think they would be just as happy singing about Spongebob than Hussien. But I guess the people that are “for” Hussien feel the need to mess with a kid’s mind. How enlightening. You guys are closer to the Republicans than you may want to admit. We say “drill, baby, drill” meaning in the ground for oil, you guys say “drill, baby, drill” meaning in the heads of kids to young to know better.

I may have to agree with OMU. The Globe is obviously one big editorial and they know their market. Since probably only Obama supporters read their paper, why not try to make up the money they have lost to conservatives who have grown tired of being preached to. Newspapers around the country are failing due to the fact that they give opinion rather than fact. This could be something new, advertising their own merchandise to stay afloat. Good luck Boston!!

The media was already in the tank for the Demos long before Obama came along so that doesn’t go with the “youth icon”. You have to go along way back before we had an objective press in this nation.

That doesn’t make the globe a newspaper. That makes it along the same lines as “The Weekly World News”. Nothing but a trashy tabloid suitable for browsing through in line at WalMart or taking with you to answer the call of nature…just in case there is no tissue.
