Boston Globe To Investigate Its Star Columnist’s Boston Marathon Claims

BOSTON — The ongoing feud between the Boston Globe and sports talk radio giant WEEI reached new highs this week after morning show host Kirk Minihane and producer Chris Curtis began questioning the Boston Marathon bombing-related reporting and claims of longtime Globe columnist Kevin Cullen.
Apparently spurred by a wildly emotional Saturday column in which Cullen marked the fifth anniversary of the marathon bombing, Minihane along with co-host Gerry Callahan spent parts of their last few shows poking holes in some of the dramatic anecdotes authored by Cullen, including his claim of being at the finish line minutes after the two bombs exploded when in reality he admittedly did not reach the scene until hours later.
