When do you suppose the Globe will pick up on the Herald's exposé of the Patrick administration's $27M slush trust fund? I mean, it's been five days now since the story broke.

Don't hold you breath
It's all anecdotal!
C'mon
They had Gronk twerking.
Do you expect them to cover everything?
Yesterday, the online Globe's
Yesterday, the online Globe's top story was about the season finale of Game of Thrones.
The second story in smaller typeface was a story about the 16-year old kid killed by two other teenagers.
Priorities, man.
Think maybe the Globe is fact
Think maybe the Globe is fact checking? Of course the Herald does.
Well if it was
Baker or Romney, this site as well of the globe would probably be on article #20 by now.
If there's enough for the
If there's enough for the legislature to initiate an investigation then it should merit a mention in the Globe.
I spent many years believing
I spent many years believing that the Herald was a crappy tabloid best used as lining for a rabbit cage and that the Globe was the paper of record in Boston. After all those Shirley Leung Olympics articles and now this, I am starting to think that either I had my papers mixed up and that the Herald is actually the paper of record and the Globe is actually the rag. Either that or they both suck.
It's the last...
... option.
They both suck
Make not mistake - they're both awful in their own unique way
You're forgetting
The golden rule of the globe... If we didn't break the story it didn't happen
The exception to the rule
The exception to the rule being when they follow someone else's reporting and act as if they're they first to have it. How many time have you read the phrase "as first reported by" in the Globe?

Gotta give Deval credit
I thought nobody could beat Jane Swift as the most incompetent, venal, ham and egger that we've seen in that role in recent memory. But he's really come across in that respect.
Perhaps they're waiting...
For an interview w/Patrick before running the story, and he's so busy running around the world on Pro Bono missions for Boston2024, he hasn't had a chance to meet with them.
Seriously, I'd love to know exactly what Patrick has done for 2024 since the plan to pay him went south. My guess is, absolutely nothing.
And this is why I've always
And this is why I've always said I'm glad we live in a two newspaper town.
This isn't the first time the Globe pretends not to notice something. When the ACA rollout happened, the Globe didn't carry any of the MA website failures, at least for the first month or so.
I actually wrote to them and asked if they were planning on reporting the troubles that so many people were having trying to sign up for health insurance.
Their reluctance to cover something so important certainly didn't help anyone who limits their news source to the Globe.
They both have their issues and while I never read the Herald and do read the Globe, I'm grateful for both.
They're too busy
reposting the same tired article from BDC Wire about how some hack who loves Nickelback, or at least their lead singer, hates Dave Grohl.
I wish I wasn't being serious, but it's been "front page news" 3 times now since November.
Globe: "Nothing to see here"
Today's (6/19) Globe, page B3: "No evidence of Patrick wrongdoing, lawmaker says". And a Globe review shows Gov. Patrick acted openly and legally, with the Legislature "explicity embracing" his budget moves.

Whether you believe it or not, there's your answer...the Globe took the story seriously and responded.
