Covering the "olds" important to the Lampson campaign
With the election approaching, the Chronicle today follows up on a story that didn't especially have legs two weeks ago when Kristen Mack wrote about it (coincidentally the same day as the Houston Press story on the same topic came out): the recent complaints of several women against former judge and current Congressional candidate Ted Poe (R).
At least the Chronicle didn't repeat its last mistake of uncritically writing about the affiliation of the women with an advocacy group that doesn't turn up on google or in other databases.
Still, this "olds" coverage amounts to little more than a press release for the Nick Lampson (D) campaign. A quality newspaper might not have bitten once on this "story," and surely wouldn't have done so twice.
