Dinosaur media in action

The Chronicle regularly reports what I call "olds" (news that's out of date by the time it makes it into the daily).

I'm not sure what to call this little blurb from Rich Connelly in the Houston Press:

Was it Microsoft run amok, or was the Houston Chronicle getting all subliminal with its hatred of George Bush's foreign policy?

We don't know. All we know is that the lead editorial October 12, on the recent Afghanistan elections, contained this sentence: "Exit polling and international observers predicted that Interim President Hamid Crazy would win election with more than 51 percent of the vote."

Well, sure he's a winner -- he's got a great '80s-nostalgia theme song, from the Fine Young Cannibals: "He's Ha-mid Crazy -- whoop, whoop…"

That was only noted by this blog -- and then picked up by the Wall Street Journal's OpinionJournal -- way back on October 12!

In internet time, that's like years.

Come on, dinosaur media! Get yourself up to speed and find some NEWS to write about!
