I won't read it, but there is a Worms column about the puppy. The Stun at its finest...

That poor animal. Feel sorry for the puppy too.

Front Page News!

You got to wonder what's so big deal/special about getting a pet as a way of dealing with grief to warrant front page coverage.

Now if they can only replace the sunshine girls with sunshine furries, it might give me an excuse to read the paper.

You've also got to wonder about the adults who authorized the publication of that picture and the editors who thought it was a good idea to publish.

The adults at the Sun? You mean the same ones who did/published the interview with the kids post-death?

Blecch. Ford's dead and gone, and yet Worms can't stop bigging him up ... and Towhey's still lying on his behalf.

Oh yeah, it's not an isolated incident. I was using the term "adults" loosely. The Fords and the Sun deserve each other, the problem is that we all get stuck with them.

I can see why his fellow reporters and such don't respect him.

If only Globe can send Margaret Wente their way, it'd be perfect.

Wente's not so much a journalist as someone who tells you about an article she read that she a) assumes you will never be able to find by yourself and b) can't be bothered to summarize in her own words.

Not reading this crap, even when it's on page 3. You have got to wonder about the attention seeking dolts who are allowing this to continue.

... the problem is that we all get stuck with them.

not all of us -- i notice the fords or the sun only when someone mentions them on social media or discussion forums

the rest of the time, i wouldn't know they existed
