Heads roll at the Globe when the presses don't

Dan Kennedy has the latest on the Globe's printing problems, which is not much, except that at least one top honcho is now an ex honcho due to the issues, whatever they are, and that a second might be in that state as well.

Ponga a Linda Pizzutti a cargo ... ella arreglará todo!

Put the brilliant, educated, erudite and enlightened Ms. John Henry in charge and
she will fix all the problems of the Globe and the Herald and motivate Liverpool into
the Champions league of the mundo!

Not much advertising in the Globe

For some reason this woman in my house keeps getting the print edition. Almost no ads in there, why are they printing it?

everything rolls

But the presses

I keep on asking this question

By Waquiot on Wed, 09/13/2017 - 9:35pm.

From 1872 to 2017, barring strikes or natural disaster, the Globe was able to put out at least on edition a day. They have on staff people who have set type (or whatever they do now) and print newspapers. They are theoretically using new equipment. Why can't they get the job done?

Good old Fish predicted this

He knew that as soon as they moved the Globe's presses to "Manilla" that there would be problems.

Oh god

He'll be on here in no time now - and - we will hear about the chic from Manila - thousands cancelling the Globe and whatever ever else leaks out of his brain (and I use that word guardedly)

Why isn't the AG going after

Why isn't the AG going after the Globe with her consumer protection powers?

Because that would be stupid and possibly illegal, that's why

By adamg on Thu, 09/14/2017 - 10:29am.

Maybe if the Globe is refusing to make refunds or take other steps to recompense subscribers for this ongoing glitch, she'd have a case. Do you have evidence that's happening?

Are advertisers being compensated

for the readers their ads are not reaching because of this fiasco?

Since when does something

By anon on Thu, 09/14/2017 - 11:36am.

Since when does something being stupid and potentially illegal stop the AG's office from doing it?

Going back to Luther Harshbarger the policy of the AG's office has been to get away with as much as you can and only walk it back a little after years of litigation and a judge's wrist slap or a stern phone call from the Speaker of the House.

Hey Brian get your head out of ya ace.

The Herald, yes the Herald, the paper you can't print, is covering a story your paper ignores. An off and on Herald contributor and lousy GOP political consultant is caught with her hand in a Saudi cookie jar on the Anniversary of 9/11. Crickets.

Why worry about printing when you have no news?
