No me, but where is the same denunciation for countries in the Muslim world that regularly throw blindfolded gay Muslims off rooftops? EAST BOSTON WALKS FOR PEACE No area of the world is more anti-gay than the Muslim- run countries that practice Sharia law. When the Globe by Sal Giarratani speaks out against that, I will take them seriously. Until then, the editorial board is a bunch of liberal hypocrites. It takes little courage to take on Russia. Everyone left of center is doing it with impunity. Courage would be taking on the homophobia of the Muslim world, but the Globe is not that courageous. The Factor Factors Out Big news at the Fox News Network: the face of that network since Day One back in October 1996 is now history. That is right, Bill O’Reilly, who changed the way news is delivered and made Fox the most watched cable channel in history, has been shown the exit door and he took it. Lots of scandalous reports and commercial advertisers rushing for the exit sign did him in. When bad news keeps piling up, sometimes you gotta know when to hold and when to fold. Looks like his next book could be Killing O’Reilly. Last thing you need to be is another public moral arbiter with a soft underbelly. O’Reilly now joins the ranks of none other than Bill Cosby. Over at Fox, the whole line-up is getting changed. (Continued on Page 10)
