Another Sox advertorial--updated!

This is hardly unprecedented, but it still bears mentioning: today's Globe story on the Red Sox selling off thousands of bleacher seats for $550 each ($495 for season-ticket holders!) pretty much reads like a free advertisement for the team.

And, to make matters worse, it doesn't mention that the NY Times Co., which owns the Globe, is also a part-owner of the Sox's parent company.

UPDATE: Shame on me for posting before finishing today's Herald, which had a similar article. I may have judged the Globe too harshly.

    Perhaps journos at the Herald were too tired to write an expose' about the "partially Globe-owned Sox ring up big bucks selling decrepit, worn-out seats"?

    Yep, I think you were a little quick. A lot of places do that, and I think it's different than some of the other ones. I want one. ;)
