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.
