| Re: The GLobe generally stinks What we need is more bandwith (FTTP) at an affordable price for everyone. The only way to accopmlish this is with a National High Speed Internet for all Policy that provides a minimum of 2mbps downstream and 1mbps upstream. There must be accountability and public reporting of actual broadband speeds and reliability. | |

Sorry, but this is a major problem - it's called being a sell-out. This is no different than being against, say, the dems because of their social issues and other issues, yet supporting them because they now support your side on the war.

Wait, so he has to disagree with the Globe even when he agrees with the Globe, because they stink? It's sounds like he was giving credit where it's due, in spite of his dislike of the Globe. | |

Even a bad newspaper hits it on the head once in a while. I hate Bill O'Reilly, but if I listen to him long enough there's bound to be something I agree with him on, and if I do I'd admit it. Doesn't mean that O'Reilly doesn't stink or isn't wrong 99% of the time, but 1% of the time he might have a point. | |

| Re: The GLobe generally stinks Why? Because when they are 1wwrong 99% of the time, you have to look at this in one of a couple ways.
1) They are a poor reporter and they have no credibility.
2) You don't agree with anything he says most of the time, yet you say they suck, however, when they agree with you then you give them a pass.
Either way, it all comes down to the credibility. You can't feel that strong against someone all the time and give them credit when you agree with them. This doesn't mean they got it right,.. their track record is that they just don't get it.. it just means that you are on the same side.
But, if they are always wrong, how can you be sure their intentions, reporting, and facts (even when you agree) are in fact going to be right?
It boils down to credibility.
