Slampo does the work of (nonexistent?) Chron editors
SLAMPO posts more about that Sunday Chron story on the soccer stadium and mayoral candidates, noting several problems with the reporting:
1) Gene Locke was never chairman of the Sports Authority (an error that has not been corrected by the newspaper as of this morning).
2) The story didn't bother to report that Dynamo ownership have donated to Gene Locke's campaign.
3) Houston's expert-on-everything, Bob Stein, apparently must always be quoted by the newspaper.
Further to (3), here's a helpful hint to local journos/editors: When a sentence quoting a nonessential source begins, "As Rice University political science professor Robert Stein (who discloses that his son-in-law works for Locke) pointed out..," find another source. It really is that simple.
