Left In Lowell

Talk about becoming less relevant. Ah well.

Nothing to link to anymore, folks, move along, move along.

Update: There’s a highly distinct possibility their site has just blown up on the home page and on other pages - after clicking on a weather link, I got to a page that had the familiar menu and lead here to the local page. That’s some blow up though, if so.

This, my friends, is what they call a not-graceful degradation of a website when your CSS dies a horrible death.

For a bit I thought (as did others who emailed me) that the Sun went full-subscription wall (as the only prominent newsy links at the top was the “e-edition” link along with the mobile). Perhaps this is not the case, we’ll see what happens…if they are transitioning, that would be a bad thing for the paper.

This disgusting display of stupidity (not to mention sexism, do we ever read this sort of crap about male candidates??) is rightly taken down by David at BMG. Calling a serious candidate for higher office a “babe”?? And it gets worse.

All the layoffs at the Globe and this is who they kept? No wonder the paper is going bankrupt. What a piece of garbage.

Coakley may be third out of four candidates for my vote, but she doesn’t deserve this chauvinist treatment. If I were a subscriber to the Globe, I’d be canceling it. My god, is this really the state of the media??
