The Herald, which used to belong to Slimeball Murdoch, is not
Beantown's major newspaper.

The Boston Globe is New England's dominant newspaper. Its daily
circulation is twice that of the Herald, and its Sunday circulation is
four times as large.


Four of the top 5 newspapers in Massachusetts will be endorsing Bush.
Although the Globe is the largest, the other 4 have a combined
circulation
exceeding the Globe's.

Circulation*

1. Boston Globe 452,109
2. Boston Herald 248,988
3. Worcester T&G 103,586
4. Springfield Republican 84,694
5. Christian Science Monitor 75,639
6. Patriot Ledger 60,596
7. Metrowest Daily News 51,973
8. Lawrence Eagle Tribune 51,453
9. Lowell Sun 50,369
10. Cape Cod Times 45,532


The five top newspapers in Massachusetts? There is one top newspaper in
Massachusetts. The rest are minor leaguers.

The combined Massachusetts circulation of numbers 2-5 exceed the circulation
of #1. Who cares if a paper is "major league" or not? The fact is, more
people in Massachusetts will be reading Bush endorsements than Kerry
endorsements.



And the Christian Science
Monitor is not a Massachusetts newspaper, it is a national newspaper.


Don't tell me...tell the Globe. Those stats came from their website.
