Erroneous braking action reported at bos by both ATIS and airport condition broadcast. Erroneous report continued for one and one half hours even though most landing aircraft gave the tower a report of poor braking. Tower advised the reporter that the braking action report was the responsibility of airport management and that they did not control this report.

Narrative:
ATIS and airport/runway condition broadcast was giving good braking reports as reported by a vehicle when, in fact, pilots consistently were reporting poor braking on runway 4R and on taxiways. This continued for 1 1/2 hours and was still occurring when I left airport. You'd think that logan has learned this lesson!!! Someone has to stop this!
