A well-known liar from Massachusetts’ biggest legacy rag is actually questioning the honesty of an Irish murder suspect from Maine.
Kevin Cullen of the Boston Globe is the butt of the joke today on Reddit for writing that Michael Kelley “has a history of saying things that don’t add up, of saying stuff that is off the wall.”
That’s ironic coming from Cullen, who has been caught – often thanks to The Maine Wire’s eagle-eyed chief editor – writing stuff that is off the wall.
Steve Robinson, besides overseeing The Maine Wire, has also been intimately involved in keeping Taxachusetts liberals – including Cullen – honest.
That’s not an easy job.
One of Robinson’s big catches over the years is Cullen, who was caught seven years ago fabricating a story about the tragic Boston Marathon bombing.
Cullen got a slap on the wrist for that tall tale.
Now he wrote a piece about Kelley’s alleged imagination.
“He is a storyteller, like the ancient seanchaí, who roamed the wilds of Ireland much as he has over the last eight years,” Cullen writes.
Funny stuff coming from Mister Fiction himself.
Robinson is a former executive producer for the Howie Carr Show and Barstool Sports’ Kirk Minihane Show, which once famously helped unmask Cullen’s fantasy for the truth as a Globe “reporter.”
“Cullen was suspended from the paper in 2018 for lying about the Boston marathon bombing after then-WEEI host Kirk Minihane exposed his serial fabrications,” Robinson wrote last year. “In various media appearances, Cullen had implied that he was at the scene of the bombing, but that was a lie.”
That would be the same Kevin Cullen who just wrote that Kelley, a former Waldo County, Maine resident now a murder suspect in a farmer’s dismembering in Ireland, “has a history of saying things that don’t add up.”
Can’t make it up. Oh, wait…
