Nobody puts Joyce Kulhawik in the corner

But the Herald, Suffolk University and NECN are going to try. David Bernstein reports the scrappy tabloid, the upstart university and the basic-cable news network today announced a mayoral forum - for the same exact time as a forum announced weeks ago by an arts coalition that had gotten Kulhawik to moderate.

The Herald, Suffolk and NECN at first proposed a forum at the same time as an NAACP forum, but apparently decided it would be easier to muscle a bunch of artsy types out of the way, even though most of the candidates had already committed to the arts chat.
