A short post that grew out of the Super Bowl and the way it was reported.
Boston Globe had a Dewey Wins/Chicago Tribune moment and Howie Carr caught it.
NOT OVER TILL IT’S OVER: An early Super Bowl edition of yesterday’s Boston Globe hastily used the front-page headline, ‘A Bitter End,’ above, before the Patriots historic comeback.
There’s fake news and then there’s FAKE NEWS!
Today’s early edition Boston Globe made a historic blunder with its Super Bowl coverage, running the headline: A BITTER END.
Above it is “Super Bowl LI.” LI meaning “51” in Roman numerals, but now it has another meaning, wouldn’t you say? You can’t have a LIE without LI.
These fake-news collectors’ items are on sale all over Florida. If you’re reading this in at least some parts of the SunshineState, you can probably still buy one at your local Publix supermarket. (Not in Palm Beach – my neighbor just bought all five copies for me.)
Given its squalid past as a purveyor of fake news, the Globe just began a new PR campaign about how “The truth matters.”
This morning the Globe’s Truth Matters campaign came to … A BITTER END. …
… The tradition continues.
Let me quote from the Globe’s truth-matters statement. The headline is: “Our mission. Why we do what we do.”
It begins: “The truth matters. At the end of the day it may be the only thing that matters.”
Which is why the Globe doesn’t – matter, that is.
What little remained of the Globe’s credibility has come to, dare I say it, an end, A BITTER END.
John Hinderaker has another feel good moment from the Super Bowl at the expense of a creepy lefty.
It wasn’t the Atlanta Falcons, or Matt Ryan, or Dan Quinn, or even the bettor who put down $1 million on the Falcons not long before game time. No, the Super Bowl’s biggest loser was Touré. If, like most people, you haven’t heard of Touré, he is a far-left commentator on MSNBC. Here, for your entertainment, are some of Touré’s tweets during the Super Bowl, in chronological order:
Trump is sinking the Pats the same way he’s sinking America.

With Gaga romping and the Pats getting killed it feels like the good guys are winning for once.

Tom Brady out there looking for help from the Electoral College. #SuperBowl

Yes, there’s some cartoons too and you’ll probably guess who is featured in a few.
