Re: Where do you go to rteviere your reputation: If you’re straight, not the Boston Globe. From today’s Globe piece on Mike Macklin’s age discrimination lawsuit: That same year (1997), he was suspended from his job after police arrested him on charges of assaulting his girlfriend during an argument and then dragging her from his apartment into a hallway. From THEIR OWN archives:Author(s):Don Aucoin Date: April 10, 1998 Page: C12 Section: Living Reporter Mike Macklin is back on the air at WHDH-Ch. 7. Macklin was in Lowell last night, reporting a story about drug problems in that city. It was the second story Macklin has done for Channel 7 since charges of assault against him, stemming from an incident involving his girlfriend last summer, were dropped by prosecutors. Channel 7 spokeswoman Ro Dooley said Macklin has been restored to his former role as a regular freelancer. Funny how they didn’t see fit to mention that THOSE charges had been dropped, (or why it was relevant to an age-discrimination suit in the first place). Guess it didn’t fit their narrative?
