Don’t know about the Bay Windows or Globe articles, but the Deval-slamming on BMG seems to be coming mostly from the Gabrieli camp. (Then again, I think the Reilly supporters jumped ship from BMG months ago.)

I encourage everyone to write letters to the editor for publication in Bay Windows. This is not the first negative article they have featured about Deval.
There are several “gay leaders” helping Gabs distort Deval’s record in our community, and it must stop.

Tim… just send you email on the yahoo account.

We both had the same idea andc came to the same conclusion: there’s a REAL PATTERN going on - and it must stop.
However, I don’t just merely by the fact that Reilly is feeding this. Well, of course he is, but the Globe is eating every morsel of it. You can blame the Killer Coke thing on Frank Phillips, but this wasn’t even written by him. Apparently, the Globe has caught on the fact that we’ll criticize Phillips and has assigned a new reporter to make shit up. Also, notice how United and Coke haven’t come up till August - when they’re things that Deval was a part of for years, years ago. In other words, these could have been stories in April… but that would have made too much sense. If you’re gonna just repeat crap from campaigns, may as well do it when it matters most.
Reilly should just give up IMHO. He’s in third and isn’t going to win. That much is pretty obvious, especially when the trends look very bad for him and the election is just weeks away. What, is he thinking people are suddenly going to wake up and say “I think I like that Reilly guy?” ROFL.

I’m the editor of Bay Windows. This is in response to Mark Snyder’s comment above that the story Bay Windows published
last week about Deval Patrick’s tenure at United Airlines was not “the first negative article they have featured about
Deval.” The insinuation seems to be that Bay Windows is slanted in its coverage of the gubernatorial race. I would like
to see Mark cite the “negative” articles he references above. I won’t hold my breath, though, because in this instance,
Mark doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

I heard a brief portion of the WCAP morning show today, where Gabrieli called in to discuss issues with the show hosts.
While I was listening, one of the co-hosts (name of Sean Ashe, I believe) asked Gabrielli why was he the only candidate supporting Cape Wind. Gabrieli let that little white lie pass, and went on to extoll the benefits of wind energy.
I have two problems with that little discussion:
1) Didn’t the talk show co-host know that Deval Patrick was out front on Cape Wind, and that Gabrieli has previously qualified his support for the project? If he does know that fact, then his question was misleading, and a breach of the media responsibility to be accurate and fair.
2) Whether or not the show co-host knew, certainly Gabrieli knows, and he let that slide. This is tantamount to lieing, although accepted in political circles. Maybe he is not as “above the fray” as he would have the electorate believe.

Waitil…they’ve been (CAP) have been talking about Gabs support of Cape Wind as if this is the first time ANY candidate has come out in support. Obviously, they are GROSSLY misinformed. Patrick had been at the forefront of support for Cape Wind. Warren (Saturdays on CAP)
has repeatedly stressed that Patric was at the forefront on that issue.
