Chron gossip columnist follows up with chief justice
Today, featured Chronicle metro/state columnist Rick Casey follows Wednesday's noxious column of innuendo and gossip with what should have appeared in that column in the first place: a response from Texas Supreme Court Chief Justice Wallace Jefferson.
People who don't see today's column will, of course, still only have part of the story. And the unsourced gossip and cheap, ultimately unsubstantiated slam against Chuck Rosenthal, are still lowlights from that Wednesday column.
As I alluded to in the previous post, there are good people who do good work at the Chronicle. Unfortunately, Rick Casey is a big public face for the newspaper, so when he engages in the sort of yellow journalism (and even outside political commentary) that is fairly typical for him, it makes the entire newspaper look bad, including the good guys. That's not the lament of a blogger wanting to bring down mainstream media (which I assuredly do NOT want to do), but just the observation of a news consumer who wants a better newspaper.
