Investigative reporting has played a defining role in the pages of the Boston Globe since the newspaper emerged as the dominant media organization in the city in the 1960s under crusading editor Thomas L. Winship, Jr.
The Globe won its first Pulitzer Prize ever, in 1966, for investigative reports about a longtime Kennedy family friend who had been nominated by Senator Edward M. Kennedy for a federal judgeship. Reporter Robert L. Healy -- himself a Kennedy friend who played touch football with the senator’s brother Robert -- helped lead a 10-person team that raised numerous doubts about claims on the resume of Francis X. Morrissey, finally forcing Sen. Kennedy to withdraw his nomination for the bench.

How about DIGGING UP the Truth about the Benghazi, Libya embassy attck? OBAMA KNEW! Globe doesn't tell the Truth here. Globe LIES! http://www.washingtontimes.com/staff/jeffrey-t-kuhner/
Globe STILL isn't reporting on Benghazi. Right now are the House Congressional hearings on Benghazi. It has been proven now that "What does it MATTER?" Hillary Clinton LIED under oath.
Now the "Distinguished" Globe Spotlight Team can also investigate the IRS and all of the politicians that asked the IRS to investigaste Tea Party groups and their donors.
