Boston Globe Fails to Damage President Bush by Reporting Small Vermont Town which Voted to Impeach Him
       The Boston Globe was so enthralled with the story about 92 people in a small Vermont town voting to impeach Pres.Bush that they ran the story twice. Once, immediately after it happened (March 7th ) and then eleven days later on March 18th after the controversy had long since died down.
       Neither reporter appeared to agree with the scheme of the editors at the Globe.
       The first story was submitted by a writer for the Associated Press (Vermont Town Endorses Move to Impeach President- Click HERE). The town, Newfane Vermont, held a town meeting and directed their self-declared socialist Congressman to draft articles of impeachment against Pres. George Bush.
       The Associated Press is a cooperative owned by the newspapers of the nation, and controlled by the largest of them, the New York Times. Despite the fact that the AP writer was instructed to write about the impeachment vote, he reported that the majority of people with whom he questioned were opposed to the town action.
       The same thing happened to the Boston Globe staff reporter, Jenna Russell who was dispatched to resurrect the story over a week later. Russell also reported that many citizens were upset over the town’s actions. ("Small Town Provokes Big Outrage"- Click HERE).
       Greg Record, a local justice of the peace, said in an interview after the meeting that the town meeting was made up of people from the "far-left," and he criticized the amount of time and attention such matters take.
       The congressional representative for the town in Washington D.C., Rep. Bernard Sanders dismissed the vote saying that ''it would be impractical to talk about impeachment.”
      The report Russell submitted said that most Newfane residents now object to the impeachment vote, saying it did not represent the town, and was not worth the embarrassment and potential economic damage in lost tourist dollars.
