Herald held hostage, Day Four

Flick this!We could be watching history in the making, folks. Remember last year, when the Herald somehow figured out how to get the Globe/Metro story on the front page five days in a row? The plucky tabloid's now had front-page Scalia chin-flick coverage two days in a row - and three out of the past four days (must've been hell in the newsroom on Monday evening - deciding whether to go with The Flick or a scoop on what a loser Tom Reilly is - they went with Tom the Loser).

On Internet128, though, Mats indicates a certain weariness with the story:

... By now I wish my almost favorite Supreme Court Justice really had flipped-off the delicate reporters from the Herald, and then thrown a gavel at them. Followed by a chair.

Dan Kennedy declares the gesture not obscene.

But give 'em credit for following up "Scalia: I'm no Soprano" with "Soprano: I'm no Scalia."
