Columnist and commentator Mike Barnicle has bounced back very nicely from having been forced to resign from the Boston Globe in 1998 over charges of fabrication and plagiarism.
Barnicle had been with the Globe since 1973 and had succeeded in becoming one of those relatively few columnists who BECAME their city, so to speak. He was and remains a sharp observer, a gifted writer, a quotable columnist with a good sense of humor. Consequently, his column was highly popular during his 25 years with that paper.
Even under a journalistic cloud of doubt, he was almost immediately snapped up by two other papers: the Boston Herald and the New York Daily News.
Later, he expanded his efforts into radio and television commentary. His early-morning radio show Barnicle's View and his work on Hardball and Morning Joe on morning TV have made him familiar to a still larger audience, and he is also popular (and well paid) on the speaker circuit.
Barnicle no longer does his Daily News column but has continued the one in the Boston Herald.
