Shutter the D.C. bureau (cont'd)
One of those inane, meaningless references favored by some professional journalists worked its way into a Gebe Martinez dispatch today:
The president's new strategy also is aimed at trying to unite the base of the Republican Party on the eve of a congressional election year, according to political experts.
It's always useful to know what the political experts who gather around the Chronicle D.C. bureau's water cooler are thinking, I guess. Martinez must be referring to them, since no actual experts expressing those sentiments are quoted in her reporting, which really doesn't cover any ground on the President's immigration policy that hasn't already been covered by the nation's more significant newspapers.
If this is the sort of fare the Chronicle D.C. bureau is going to continue to churn out, the newspaper really needs to consider shuttering the bureau and redeploying the resources to local/state coverage.
