Terrible Day for New York Times
            Yesterday was a terrible day for the New York Times and its subsidiary, the Boston Globe.
            The Globe repeated its mistake of 2002 when Pinch Sulzberger became so excited about promoting gay marriage that he had the paper do so in its news columns. The paper kept urging the legislature to violate the law. In that year, it also libeled Sally Pawlick, founder of Massachusetts Citizens for Marriage sixteen times. When she sued The New York Times Company for libel in Boston’s federal court, the trial judge, who had been appointed by Senator Kennedy, agreed that libel had taken place but she dismissed the suit on technical grounds.
            This year, the Globe published a very large, prominent chart in its July 12 edition, which also indicated that the legislature could merely vote to adjourn as it did and refuse to vote on the issues. It indicated this would not violate the Constitution in any manner.
             But that also was not correct.
