Actually, yes he did say it, and I was present when he said it.  He 
spoke at a panel discussion at the National Conference on Media 
Reform last Friday in Boston, regarding the state of Boston 
media.  He was on a panel with various representatives of Boston 
stations, including Callie Crossley of WGBH, and it was to her that 
he addressed the remarks, which I found rather surprising, to be 
honest with you.  And I assume he has said them at other times as 
well, since Johnny Diaz of the Globe seemed familiar with the comments.
