The Herald found an objective “expert” critical of Wu’s housing policy modifications: Josh Kraft’s policy advisor on housing. (No disclosure by the Herald, of course.)

The guy whose real estate firm was cited by Kraft as the example backing him on “tax breaks for landlords.”

As for me, I’m delighted that Councilor Flynn has a challenger.

It’s no secret that Flynn’s weekly use of drama over substance, too often distorting facts when addressing constituents (receipts are plentiful), has not won me over.

www.bostonglobe.com Let the 2027 election season begin - The Boston Globe Rachel Pearson, a South Boston substitute teacher and community organizer, plans to challenge Boston City Councilor Ed Flynn, taking on the the body’s longest-serving and most well-funded member.

Meanwhile, the Globe presents Flynn as a Wu “antagonist,” glorifying Flynn’s predilection for grievances, antics and drama over substance (never covered, FTR).

The Globe never bothered to report what Flynn/Collins did to Gayle during Early Voting. Taken out like the trash.

“Wu donor?” So a woman who decides to run for office has no agency if she supported Mayor Wu?

Have to assume top notch reporter @kellygarrity3 didn’t write that shameless headline.

The Globe has record of unfairly denigrating first-time candidates, most recently Latoya Gayle.
