Taking the title from a Peggy Lee song, I ask the Boston Herald’s John Tomase after reading his mea culpa, is that all there is? And where are the words, “I’m sorry”?
While Tomase’s apology reads like he’s contrite, he does not talk about who his sources are nor does he talk about what really happened in putting together the story.
Bruce Allen of Boston Sports Media Watch feels the apology does not go far enough.
David Scott ran a live blog (which you can read in its entirety) and got reader reaction to the apology.
Northeastern University assistant professor of journalism Dan Kennedy looks into the apology and asks about several issues that are missing in Tomase’s tome.
Steve at the Sox & Dawgs blog says Tomase is whacked for thinking that he’ll remain on the Patriots beat for the Herald.
Paul Flannery from the Boston Magazine’s Boston Daily blog rightfully asks where were the editors in all this?
Newsday’s Neil Best says he felt Tomase’s pain for having to write the apology.
That will do it for the Tomase apology for now. Friday megalinks coming up.
