Just another day at America's Worst Big City Daily
THE CHRONICLE ran into a bit of a problem putting together the print edition today:
Apparently, nobody caught the fact that the photo is of David Wolff, not Frank Wilson. Whoops!
Substantively, the story isn't much better. The only mildly critical voice (former Councilmember Peter Brown) is extremely weak, and the story concludes with praise of Wilson from two cheerleaders, one of whom is David Wolff (who hired Wilson and whose legacy can be said to be inextricably tied to Wilson). That's how America's Worst Big City Daily tends to roll on these types of stories.
Elsewhere, the newspaper decided to act as a PR arm for METRO in response to Mark Greenblatt's reporting on potential financial deception at the rogue transit organization. Greenblatt, of course, has won a number of awards for his watchdog reporting, most recently on the Texas National Guard, but before that on the city's inaccurate reporting of homicide rates (after the organizations in question initially downplayed his reporting). We're inclined to pay attention when Greenblatt reports skeptically on irregularities in government. America's Worst Big City Daily, which is often more interested in cheerleading than watchdog reporting and can't even seem to keep David Wolff and Frank Wilson straight? Not so much.
