Reckless accusations from the metro/state columnist
The Chronicle regularly justifies our contentions that it is one of the worst major daily newspapers in the country.
Sometimes, though, it goes beyond that, into the territory of vile and reprehensible.
That's the only way to explain this column from known plagiarist Rick Casey, who accuses Talmadge Heflin of trying to steal both elections and babies and concludes by getting in a potshot at Chron "bad guy" Tom DeLay. Casey just couldn't resist, one supposes.
It's the sort of spiteful column that has no place in any respectable major daily.
Indeed, it contrasts sharply with recent coverage of this race from two of the state's other major newspapers (here and here), and seems more like something one would find on partisan websites (except the writing tends to be better on the lefty websites).
Reckless accusations posing as journalism -- and from the star metro/state columnist no less -- really say quite a bit about the operation Jeff Cohen oversees. The Chronicle should be so much better than this.
