Boston Globe has Changed Its Story on Alito

Boston Globe Has Changed Its Internet Story about Judge Alito
            Although we saw many half-truths and outright lies by the Boston Globe during our three-week vacation, the most egregious was about Judge Alito.
            The archives lists two stories on Jan. 11 titled: "Alito Backs Privacy, Vows Open Mind on Abortion." Story #1 has 1410 words and story #2 has twelve fewer at 1398 words. We paid to read each story and they are exactly the same. If there is a difference of twelve words, it would take hours to discover it.
            The headline and the lead in the story we saw on Jan. 11 reported that the judge's wife left the room in tears because she was terribly distraught and sad because of the legitimate hammering of the press upon the judge.
            But Mrs. Alito actually left with tears of joy after Sen. Lindsey Graham praised her and her husband for standing firm despite the unfair attacks from the Democrats on the Committee (led by Ted Kennedy). Apparently the Globe was so embarrassed by its bias and slanted that it changed everything so that no one would know. It even changed the archives of the print newspaper. They now read:

If anyone can explain this mystery to us other than the Globe is terribly embarrassed now that another example of its deceit is fully documented, we would appreciate your thoughts.
