The NY Times/Boston Globe company... probably the most liberal newspapers in the country... have announced that they will be ceasing operations of the Boston Globe newspaper unless the 13 unions to which their employees belong agree to approximately $20 million in concessions.

Get a load of that. The super-liberal, pro-union newspapers are in a fight with the unions.

Poetic justice.

Once in a while Elliot, the irony is just too delicious.
