Laundry outrages Michele McPhee

More than boarded up houses. More than used condoms and broken glass strewn across vacant lots. More than blood splattered on sidewalks. "Nothing says urban blight" like clothes drying outside, Michelle McPhee warns us.

Lying inmates looking for love have a high burden of proof when suing newspapers that write about them, court rules

The Massachusetts Appeals Court today threw out a lawsuit against the Herald and Michele McPhee by an inmate who placed an online dating ad even though their story falsely accused him of manslaughter and "brutal sexual attack on an elderly woman."

In its ruling, the court said Edmond R. LaChance Jr. did not exactly cover himself in glory by omitting from his "Inmate Connection" ad that he was in maximum security for rape and aggravated rape. The court ruled that McPhee's 2005 articles on the dangers of hooking up with inmates online were based on state records which turned out to be incorrect, not because of any "actual malice" on McPhee's part.

A Little Known Latino History Fact on Sonia Chang-Diaz

Williams35 — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 22:42:16 +0000

Whether Boston City Councilor Chuck Turner likes it or dislikes it,
Latina American, Sonia Chang-Diaz, is running for the Massachusetts State Senate seat of the 2nd Suffolk District. Sonia could be the first ever Latina to be elected office to the State Senate of the 2nd Suffolk District when she faces current “and outgoing” State Massachusetts Senator, Dianne Wilkerson. Polls are looking good so far for Sonia Chang-Diaz who could make history for the Latino Community and Non-Latino Communities of the 2nd Suffolk District of Boston and Chelsea.

WTKK's Michele McPhee defends Sonia-Chang Diaz

Williams35 — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 02:24:15 +0000

Sonia Chang-Diaz, could be on her way as the first Latina-American to become a state senator, representing the 2nd Suffolk District of Roxbury, Dorchester, Mattapan, Jamaica Plain, Mission Hill and others.

Meanwhile, Boston City Councilor Chuck Turner (African-American) blasted the "Soon-To-Be" first ever Latina on her way to becoming the next State Senator; calling Chang-Diaz "A Non-Latina" with no kind of Latino blood background in her whatsoever.

It's not April 1, so it must be true

Looks like Boston will be looking for a new fire chief soon

Michele McPhee couldn't stay away from the written word, it seems. She's signed on with Boston Magazine's Boston Daily and her first post today is a fun one, unless your name is Tom Menino:

Kevin MacCurtain, the department's highest ranking uniformed officer, will boycott the mayor's state-of-the-city address tonight, in solidarity with the firefighters who will be picketing the speech to protest their lack of a contract (no word if they plan to spit at members of Menino's family again). MacCurtain reports (for now, at any rate) to Commissioner Rod Fraser.

The mayor doesn't take kindly to managers who disagree with him; just ask Bernie Margolis.

Herald losing cop reporter?

Omitting the peskiest of the five W's

adamg — Sat, 17 Nov 2007 16:28:04 +0000

So Michele McPhee of the Herald aplogized for what she said the other day on WTKK about gay men and little boys. Dan Kennedy considers the odd Herald story about the apology, which never says exactly what it was that got her in trouble, but which has been reported by other media outlets:

If the Boston Herald is going to report on Michele McPhee's on-air apology for seeming to draw a relationship between homosexuality and pedophilia, shouldn't the paper also report what she was apologizing for?

Herald crime reporter in unfashionable flap over gay men and boys

adamg — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 13:44:07 +0000

Possible dust-up brewing over what she may have said on WTKK about gays liking little boys. Some think she called gay men pedophiles; she basically says she was talking about the preference of gay fashion designers for stick-figure women with boy-like physiques, although it's hard to say for sure since the reporter of the piece says she said it "off the record" (dude: if somebody tells you something is "off the record," it means they're telling you they don't want it in the story; although you'd think McPhee would know better than to say anything she doesn't want quoted to a reporter).

New Yorkers being New Yorkers

John Daley, one of Boston's Finest, takes issue with a Herald story in which a New York cop is allowed to wax outraged in anonynimity about some Boston Police event that he has nothing to do with:

... Why the need for anonymity and why did the reporter let them have it? What is it about a comment on an event by a much smaller organization four hundred miles away that requires someone to hide their identity? Is it merely for the chance to slam another police department? ...
