Chronicle celebrates "local" hero
On the day of Dan Rather's final broadcast, the Chronicle was practically gushing over their local hero.
Mike McDaniel, who has been chirping less than critically about Rather for a while, was boosting a documentary on Rather in today's newspaper.
Mickey Herskowitz, who co-authored a couple of books with Rather, can barely keep his composure in this puff piece.
The funniest part of it all, though, is that as Houston's only newspaper was busy celebrating the "local" hero today, Rather himself was apparently so tuned in to Houston that he didn't think Houston's smoking ban had any relevance to a story on a new report linking breast cancer to secondhand smoke.
Even though the Chronicle chose to treat Rather as retiring hero, the internet fortunately offers many more perspectives than Houston's only newspaper. If that continues to be the case, Houston's only newspaper will probably continue to see its influence decline.
