Boston Globe Starts a Fire

And how could they put it out? With an APOLOGY!!!

But they won't; they NEVER DO!!! I'm still waiting for one over the Iraq lies.

THIS is what the Globe led with in MONDAY'S METRO
:

Boston spends most per capita on firefighters among US cities

Huh. Strange how the Globe led with that while hiding this over the weekend.

Then I find this in the Metro section today
:

"Error made in fire dept. report; Data corrected; Hub 2d in per capita spending" by Donovan Slack and John C. Drake, Globe Staff | March 31, 2009

A report by city officials in Columbus, Ohio, that ranked Boston first in the nation in the per capita cost of fire and emergency services was wrong because it was based on faulty numbers, Columbus officials said yesterday.

Like everything in the Globe.

In fact, Boston had the second most expensive fire and EMS spending in the country, behind San Francisco, they said. Boston spent $285 per resident on its fire department during the last fiscal year, according to the revised report. San Francisco paid the highest at $315 per resident, it said.

Columbus officials apologized for the erroneous data, which has been circulating among city officials across the country and generated extensive news coverage in Boston after a Globe story based on the study appeared yesterday morning....

--more--"

So there you have it, folks. The GLOBE TELLS LIES!!!
