Howie Carr's "Graft Mobile"

That sounds right, him losing his job at 2 because their viewers weren't happy they had him. I think he's mentioned it

Learned some interesting things about how past in this thread.
Let's not forget how much venom he's spewed towards the Globe, openly rooting for the paper's demise and that their employees, urr I mean, moonbat bow-tied bumkissers with trust funds are all carpet baggers.
I can understand not agreeing with the Globe's political slant, but the vitriol from Howie is just too much. They must have not let him intern there one summer.

At the end of the day he's just another enormous hypocrite, with an army of sheep to worship him.

I don't think it was an internship I think it was a job. Ask any reporter in the city if they would rather work at the Herald or the Globe and the answer is the Globe. The Globe pays better has much better resources and if you aspire to leave Boston it is much easier to do it from the Globe. Countless reporters have started at the Herald then moved to the Globe. The only two journalists I know who went from the Globe to the Herald were Mike Barnicle and Ron Borges. Both were charged with plagiarism.

Despite being a very aggressive City Hall reporter at the Herald, The paper passed him over when a columnist position opened up. Carr was looking to leave the paper but the Globe had no interest in him. Carr left the paper to begin his undistinguished career in TV. He returned to the Herald a few years later when they finally gave him a column.

One of Carr's biggest stories at the Herald was the misuse of campaign funds by Kevin White to pay for his wifes birthday party and buying furniture for personal use. A rather flamboyant Gay salesman at Roce Bobois provided Carr with the receipts for furniture. I often wondered how Carr could carry such a anti Gay attitude all these years.
