Does the Boston Herald have it in for Mr. Baker?

As David at Blue Mass Group notes in this post, the Boston Herald has been ripping Republican Charlie Baker over the last couple days.
One article notes,

Baker's salary as CEO of Harvard Pilgrim surged from $548,351 in 1999 to a high of $1.7 million in 2008. He earned $1.3 million in seven months in 2009 before he resigned to run for governor last summer, filings with the state Attorney General show.
Over the same period, premiums at Harvard Pilgrim went up by 100 to 200 percent.

What's going on at the Herald? Did they lose the script?

What do you think?

Mike Dukakis used to promise "good jobs at good wages", but he wasn't talking about the outrageous salaries of health insurance company executives. Unbelievable!
