Comment on: Bill Belichick says he meant no disrespect - Patriots - Boston.com
Get real guys. Of course Belichick dissed the ref and clearly touched him on purpose. Even if the disrespect was due, Belichick should have known better. The officiating by amateurs is a scandal. Th more »

Comment on: 'Patriots headed back to Super Bowl'
Brady is right, he sucked. Two picks, missed pass opportunities and that ill-conceived home run pass that should never have been called and, once it was called. should have been aborted under the defe more »

Comment on: Evelyn Handler, 78; president shaped new Brandeis identity - Obituaries - The Boston Globe
I'm proud to say I was Evelyn Handler's VP for public affairs during the middle and end of the controversy at Brandeis. Evelyn was a powerful, well-intentioned and skillful president and a proud Jew. more »

Comment on: LA Times breaks Whitey Bulger story - Gatekeeper - Boston.com
Mark, Don't be so quick to apologize. Something about how this went down doesn't smell quite right. Within 24 hours of putting out the equivalent of an APB on the girlfriend they suddenly find Whitey more »

Comment on: 'Insurer’
There is clearly something rotten about the mailing, and National Grad should ashamed of itself, and possibly sued, to selling its name a logo to National Home Services. But it really does NOT look a more »

Comment on: Loscocco says Cahill campaign conspired with Democrats
At the outset, I was not a Patrick fan, but after a rocky start he's doing a good job under terrible circumstances. Cahill is a joke. Baker is scary. There's substantial (irrefutable really) evidence more »

Comment on: Sports Guy breaks Randy Moss story by âaccidentâ - Gatekeeper - Boston.com
It just goes to show that rolling rumor gathers no moss. Like Seamus says, who cares. The discussion concerning what constitutes journalism today; whether and if so under what circumstances is a blogg more »

Comment on: Lawrence Summers to leave White House post, return to Harvard
Strike two for Summers. This is good news for all concerned, except Harvard. At least he won't be their president. more »

Comment on: 'Jury deadlocks on all but 1 charge against Blago'
There's little doubt that Blagojevich is/was bad news (or scum as another commentator suggested), but he's history. A politician convicted of not telling the truth? What else is new? Pursuing this cas more »

Comment on: Conventional Wisdom Watch: The Amorello story - Gatekeeper - Boston.com
The Amorello story is a sad personal tragedy for him and his family. That said, he is responsible for his own actions and no one else. The inference that Mitt Romney, whom I can't personally abide, is more »

Comment on: How%20to%20figure%20out%20who%26%23146%3Bs%20really%20a%20journalist
The issue goes beyond who is and is not a journalist. Clearly the entertainers and political zealots cited by Mark (and many others) are not. The real issue is whether professional journalism as we ha more »

There's a lot of crap in these comments. Shame on all of you. I started out as a Clinton supporter for President and switched to Obama after the primary. He hasn't met my highest expectations, but he' more »

Comment on: Reporters are not police detectives - Gatekeeper - Boston.com
I wish I had read the original Lavender article and not relied entirely on the Gatekeeper account. I've now read the article. The story and the issues that arise are more subtle than those reported in more »

Comment on: Reporters are not police detectives - Gatekeeper - Boston.com
I can't get too bent out of shape about this supposed ethical lapse. Stories are either true, accurate and legitimate news or they aren't. The intent of the writer doesn't really matter. And while fai more »

Comment on: Exploring truth in âjournalismâ - The Boston Globe
Trolls is right again. There's nothing wrong with Beck and O'Reilly, the latter of which I have crossed swords with on the air (defending an honorary degree granted to Jane Fonda). They are what they more »

Comment on: Exploring truth in âjournalismâ - The Boston Globe
Trolls is right. Teaching media literacy and critical assessment can't wait for college. It should start in middle school and continue through high school. If it works, it won't be as needed in colleg more »

Comment on: Exploring truth in âjournalismâ - The Boston Globe
Renee, I wish I could accept as readily as you have that journalism as it has historically been practiced is all but dead. As you state, the pillars of that profession are usually described as indepen more »

Comment on: 'US halts airlifts of Haiti patients, citing space'
How about some common sense on this. The US did not colonize and impoverish Haiti. The US did not cause the earthquake. Yet we rushed there in a nanosecond to provide more physical, medical and financ more »
Can't see much of a substantive issue here as long as Markey meets legal Massachusetts residency requirements and pays state income taxes. Perhaps the Globe could look into whether he does. The requir more »
