	Hanging Barnicle (TNR) 09/07/98 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Barnicle, a tough-talking Irish-American with working-class roots, and Smith, an African American with a poet's voice and a controversialist's heart, were grafted onto this culture in an attempt to broaden the Globe's base -- to reach out to the disparate and distrusting ethnic clans that Boston comprises.
		Barnicle, who'd joined the Globe as a columnist in 1973, was invaluable during the busing crisis.
		Barnicle and Smith were gaudy wallpaper, hung to cover over the structural flaws that lay underneath.

		Barnicle insists the tale is true and vows to "clear my name and remove the cloud that has been placed over my career." But the newsroom applauded when Storin said it was time for the Globe to move on.

	washingtonpost.com: Style Live: Showcase
		BOSTON, Aug. 19—Mike Barnicle, the Boston Globe columnist who was suspended early this month, then was asked to resign, then spared from being fired, was forced to quit today after his editors could not confirm the existence of two cancer-stricken boys he wrote about in a moving 1995 column.
		Barnicle conceded his conduct had been "stupid" and "embarrassing," but said the jokes were given to him by a bartender friend.
		Many at the Globe, including Barnicle himself, said the earlier demand for his resignation was fueled by racial politics that seemed to demand that a white columnist be treated as harshly as a fl one, even if the offenses were not equivalent.

		Barnicle's pals in the national media like to paint him as a street scribe who boldly sets foot where J-school nancyboys daren't tread.
		Barnicle Mike the Piper, we called him -- that rich feller whose quotes and characters seem a little too good to be true, and who gives the impression he's done his reporting in person when he's in fact done it by phone, if at all.

	March 25, 2002, Transcript of Alan Keyes is Making Sense
		BARNICLE: I must have missed, Alan, the path the pope alluded to in my reading of the pope's statement, and also must have missed it when you were speaking to Archbishop Foley or Archbishop Foley probably would have said to you, the pope's path was to remove people responsible for the problem.
		BARNICLE: I'll give you a specific, the fact that 16- and 17-year-old young Catholic boys sit in too many churches in this country and snicker at sermons by the priest, that they won't go on overnight retreats for confirmation, that they are suspicious of priests today, that their parents are even more suspicious.
		I also disagree with Mike in the sense that somehow or another we put aside the authority that is represented in the hierarchy in the church, not because it belongs to these human beings, no, but because in the end, we have to remember God is sovereign, he's in charge.

	Mike Barnicle
		Barnicle paraphrased a George Carlin joke or two and failed to say "oh, by the way, those were George Carlin jokes." Sloppy, yes, but still a big difference.
		Mike Barnicle once put up some jokes he got from a friend as his article because he was feeling lazy.
		Barnicle, who does not claim ever to have met the senders or the recipients of the letter, could have quoted a long passage from it, so he obviously MADE SHIT UP.

	The Harvard Crimson :: Opinion :: Scrape Off That Barnicle
		Barnicle then alleges that as we entered the lobby, George Baker benignly asked us: "Can any of you people read English?" The truth is that Baker confronted us and attempted to interrogate us in a hostile, ill-mannered fashion, his tone full of seething rage.
		She was heading for the other entrance to the building, and he attempted to intimidate and harass her into dropping her complaint, at one point asking if she (a fl student) had problems with him simply because he was a white male.
		Barnicle claims that the students Baker offended are "rude, spoiled elitists." If Barbicle had the slightest shred of common sense, he'd realize that students who spend their weekend hours working probably don't fit the stereotype of filthy rich debutantes whose ancestors all attended Harvard.

		Barnicle is a journalist worthy of the title, he'll recognize that when he reads it, and the next time he decides to write on the subject, he'll have the facts.
