So did anyone at the WBUR newsroom have the balls to suggest that perhaps 
WBUR should be raking Ch.5 over the coals for it?   I think such a blatant 
editorialization deserves at least a mention in a bottom-of-the-hour 
newscast.  Call up Stein, Johnson and Howell...you can bet they'll go on 
record denouncing Channel 5 for saying that.  There's your story!  :-)

"A slow news day means your reporters aren't imaginative enough to find 
something."

Or certainly someone at WNYC's/NPR's "On The Media" ought to be mentioning 
it anyway...
