The first assumption is that beers were consumed, as they are at ball games.

The first question is who was driving? The news said an aide. The Globe says so too.

I think it's news. Maybe not banner headline, stop the presses, news, but when a public official is involved in a car accident, it merits reporting. GLOBE stuck it in the METRO section--that's an appropriate place for it, I think.

The two vehicles did make contact before Brown's car hit that pole:

The two vehicles collided, but it was not clear who hit whom in the 8:28 p.m. accident, said Dennis Sulinski, a Dedham police dispatcher. Neighbors said the Jeep struck a telephone pole.

Mitt Romney got in a car accident in France when he was a missionary. He was driving, and his passenger, his boss, was killed. Many--indeed most--people don't even know about that. It's a matter of public record, in any event, as is this accident.

Would You Feel the Same if the Accident Involved Elizabeth Warren? indykatie1955 Apr 2012 #3

The Globe would ignore the accident, the Herald would blame Warren for.. SamG Apr 2012 #5
