Boston Herald Calls Male Cross-Dressing Prisoner ‘She’ Throughout Story

-By Warner Todd Huston

Apparently the Boston Herald has taken up the PC line if its story on cross-dressing prisoner Robert “Michelle” Kosilek from August 12 is any indication because the Herald decided to call Kosilek “she” throughout the article.

Robert Kosilek is in prison for the 1990 murder of his wife and has been living “as a woman” in the male correctional facility since 1993. Kosilek has not undergone a sex change operation but had until recently been enjoying the benefit of state paid electrolysis in order to eliminate unwanted hair so that his appearance as a woman could be enhanced.

The current controversy over Kosilek’s claims to being a woman trapped in a man’s body is over the recently halted payments by the state for the electrolysis and Kosilek’s lawsuit demanding that the state pay for a sex change surgery.

Unprofessionalism at the Boston Herald: White Men Attacked

-By Warner Todd Huston

Margery Eagan of the Boston Herald has done it again. She’s unleashed her deathless prose filled with soaring rhetoric and high concepts all revealing her infinite sagacity. OK, that was just sarcasm. In truth, Eagan has given us another example of the sort of low-end, guttural, sputterings that we have become so used to seeing drip like sour milk from her pen. Her latest Boston Herald piece is a prime example of the unprofessionalism that pervades her work.

In a posting titled “Men in throes of Supreme panic,” Eagan gets into her best name calling mode against all those eeeevil “white men” out there that might find reason to oppose President Obama’s nomination of Sonia Sotomayor, a woman well known for positing that female Hispanics are inherently better judges than white men — a sentiment that if reversed would be considered a racist statement.

Bos. Herald: Conservative That Prevents a Suicide, ‘Does Indeed Have a Heart’

-By Warner Todd Huston

How do you turn a hearwarming tale into just another excuse to call conservatives heartless, mean ol’ hatemongers? Just ask Jessica Heslam from the Boston Herald who, right in the first sentence of her story, decided it would be fun to take a slap shot at a conservative that helped save a woman’s life, this week.

Boston’s conservative radio host, Howie Carr, helped a women decide against committing suicide on his morning radio show on Thursday when she called in distraught about her dire economic situation. Appealing to her concern for her own family, Carr convinced the woman not to kill herself by telling her the story of his own grandfather’s suicide that Carr said his family never got over.

Boston Herald’s Master Work of Subtle McCain Slams, Obama Praises

-By Warner Todd Huston

If you want to see an example of the media employing a subtle undercurrent of disdain for Republicans and praise for Democrats, you can’t get any better example than the masterful effort at left leaning propaganda that the Boston Herald unleashed on October 26. Even the headline is artful for the negative image in which it casts McCain’s actions while simultaneously presenting Obama as the innocent victim. The subtlety is amazing and really must be seen to be believed.

With the very headline we see that nasty McCain and the obviously innocent Obama as the Herald sternly informs us that, “John McCain keeps swinging socialist hammer at Barack Obama.” That mean, “hammering” McCain “swinging” that obviously absurd claim that the Marxist is a socialist! Imagine. The negative image of McCain being an aggressor is painfully obvious.

The first paragraph continues the negative framing of McCain and the portrayal of Obama, the “light worker,” as the aggrieved victim.
