Tip O'Neill: “All politics is local.”

It’s all well and good to rail against the Globe-Snooze’s right-wing editorial stances and support of the Christian Taliban columnists, but keep your eye on the impact on local issues. It’s what makes the always-pro-capitalist local rag all the more hypocritical and lacking credibility.

Take note of the editorial in Monday’s issue that backed the City Commission’s restricting billboards. What self-serving clap-trap. Remember this the next time the Globe-Snooze calls for fair and even competition — like in political races or votes on Supreme Court justices.

And, woe betide Paul Harpole for standing in the way of the wishes of the Wares.

What this town needs is an alternative news source and people are working hard to bring it one.

Stay tuned.
