Not quite a one newspaper town?

The New York Times is telling the unions at the Globe: give us $20 million in concessions, or the Globe will be no more.

And the Old Grey Lady isn't kidding.

I sometimes read the Globe and even though I don't agree with its editorial slant, I feel just a teeny bit smarter. The problem is that the Globe is geared to the upper-middle and upper classes of Boston; the Herald, while tabloidy and sensational, is for the more working-class of us.

The Metro? The bastard child of the Herald and the Globe that no one wants to admit is theirs. The Globe owns that too; maybe they should get an reasonably balanced editorial board and cut all the crap out of it.
