The SELECTIVITY of the COVERAGE says MORE THAN I COULD EVER TYPE.
Think of the MASSIVE PROTESTS the GLOBE either IGNORES or DISPARAGES and the agendas become quite clear.

"CEO’s op-ed piece on health care viewed as risky; Website opposing Whole Foods chief gains members" by Calvin Hennick, Globe Correspondent | August 25, 2009
At a time when the subject of health care reform is being debated nationwide, some business analysts say it was risky for Whole Foods Market CEO John Mackey to pen an opinion piece this month in The Wall Street Journal in which he wrote that people have no “intrinsic right to health care.’’
Yeah, if you tell the truth it's risky.
Of course, if we did in fact have that right then the US would have single-payer health care like the rest of the industrialized world.
So you have a bunch of ding-dongs criticizing the libertarian CEO and the agenda-pushing "liberal" MSM fulfilling its function.
Maybe this will help explain some things:
Another WHEEL-SPINNING DIVERSION from the HORSE-HOCKEY PRESS, 'eh?
Even though protests planned at the company’s stores in Cambridge and Framingham drew small crowds of supporters, a group on the social networking website Facebook called “Boycott Whole Foods’’ has attracted more than 26,000 members. And observers say the Whole Foods brand may have been damaged....
It's AMAZING how they SELECTIVELY USE the NET, huh?
Mackey, who is on vacation, was unavailable for comment....
Still, the small protests and boycott movement haven’t affected business....
Protests of Mackey’s op-ed piece Friday drew about a dozen people outside the company’s Framingham store and around 30 outside the Cambridge location. Protesters handed out fliers calling for Mackey to be fired.
“I was so incensed by The Wall Street Journal article that I had to do something,’’ said Newton resident Maxine Bridger, who carried a sign outside the Framingham store reading “Health Care is a Human Right.’’
Then GO PROTEST a WAR!!!!!
Several customers that day said they were unaware of the opinion piece and that it wouldn’t affect their shopping habits. Diane Arnheim, a shopper who agrees with Mackey’s views, said she would come to the store even more often to counter the protests. “Maybe I’ll come twice a week,’’ Arnheim said.
Oh, I LIKE THIS LADY!!!!!
Neal Hartman, a senior managerial communications lecturer at MIT, said the boycott movement is unlikely to have a large impact.
“For a lot of people, they may not like that he said that, but they may not simply quit shopping at Whole Foods,’’ Hartman said.
I dunno; Globe was trying to say they would go to Wal-Mart now (ha-ha)!
Sandra Waddock, a professor of management at Boston College, said hearing a CEO’s prospective on a given issue can be good. “It’s always risky for a company’s spokespeople to step out on these public policy issues,’’ she said. “On the other hand, they are often in a position to have a deeper understanding of them. We want to hear reasoned perspectives from both sides.’’
Well, SOME PEOPLE DO and there is NO BOTH SIDES to the TRUTH!
