Boston Herald Offices Shut By Plague Fears

Sometimes the Boston Herald headlines contain exaggerations for dramatic effect.  But seldom do we see a large, bold, blatant, inflammatory lie with no basis in fact whatsoever.  But we did today: RAPE FEAR GRIPS CITY.

No, it doesn't.  In fact, the thesis of the "article" is that the city is failing to alert its residents to a possible upsurge in the number of sex assaults.  That is, people don't know about the "problem."

Oh, the plague?  It's a lie I wrote for dramatic effect.  Just like the Herald does.

I think offices are taking more than required safety measures, ain't they?
