But every now and again it's the Globe that becomes a lowly caboose to the Herald.
Let's begin with this piece in Thursday's Herald.
The record books won't note Emily Nash's amazing three-over-par high school tournament victory — because she's a girl.
That has golfers from all over the country calling to praise the 16-year-old Lunenburg High junior who beat all the boys.
"It still kind of stinks," Nash told the Herald last night. She had to give up the trophy to the second-place finisher.
In the news business, though, the rules are slightly looser. So on Friday, the Globe unblushingly ran this piece.
She was allowed to golf with the boys, but the rules didn't allow her to beat them.
So when Emily Nash, a Lunenburg High School junior, shot the best score at the Central region Division 3 high school golf tournament at Blissful Meadows in Uxbridge on Tuesday, officials had to hand the trophy to the best-scoring boy, who had finished four strokes back.
Not to mention local attention, which the Globe conveniently did not mention.
Low class, Globeniks. Very low class.
As the Great Amazon Headquarters Bakeoff approaches it denouement, interested parties are starting to answer last call with one final plea.
Thus the Boston Globe weighed in yesterday with this editorial.
Amazon is offering one city a winning lottery ticket. The home selected for its second headquarters campus can expect a concentration of tens of thousands of men and women with talent, education, and the resources to flourish.
No surprise, then, that dozens of communities around the country are tripping over themselves to vie for the prize. Stonecrest, Ga., pledges to de-annex 345 acres and name the new burg "Amazon." Tucson, Ariz., sent the online retailer a 21-foot tall cactus. Vancouver is touting Canada's liberal visa policy in its pitch to win the sweepstakes.
But the Commonwealth doesn't need gimmicks. Nor do we need to brag . . .
No need to brag? Then what was that four-page mash note to Jeff Bezos labeled "Newsroom Commentary" that wrapped the Metro section in Sunday's Globe?
Is it possible that the Globe's editorial nose is out of joint because of the "commentary" part at the top of that first page? Say what you will, but the hardreading staff loves a good turf battle at the stately local broadsheet.
Especially since the turf at their new headquarters is so much smaller than before.
