Boston Globe: This just in!

The front page headline in today's Globe reports that presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his wife "are worth"up to $250 million. In the the text of the story, we learn that the actual amount is somewhere between $190 million and $250 million. Okay, it's a lot of dough, but as far as I know,he didn't steal it.

I suppose it's important to know the financial status of the candidates, but I suspect that when it comes time to review the financial status of the other candidates, like the Clinton's, for example, the mighty Globe will somehow find such information not worthy of a headline, and , in all likelihood, not front page material.

Watch the Globe for more even-handed coverage of the campaign.
