Boston Globe Loses New Media War - Boston.com 0, ABC News 260, TPM 63

The Boston Globe writes about the new John McCain online video contest, The media is in LOVE with Barack, and DOES NOT LINK to the contest, and DOES NOT EMBED the videos. ABC News links to the contest and embeds one video, Talking Points Memo (TPM) links to the contest and embeds both videos.

NO COMMENT
The Globe doesn't allow comments either. The others do. ABC news wins that contest with 263 people commenting on the article, as of this posting.

The Boston Globe continues to disappoint.

Here are the YouTube videos. Easy enough to embed.

Video 1 - Obama Love


Video 2 - Obama Love V2


Take a closer look.
