Gotcha Journalism.
Yesterday, the cover of the Chron was: "Gavin, is he lying or just stretching the truth too much? Our ace team investigates."
Truth was: Gavin's claims were pretty sensible. Even quaint, by current politicians' standards. But the Chron has its knife out for Gavin, and it will use it.
Today, Phil Bronstein jumps in the fray. We paraphrase:
Gavin said that water conservation is important, yet he did not take his pipe wrench to adjust the sprinklers in Golden Gate park?<
Yeah, Phil is right, why, Gavin, why?
The Chron: stooping lower than you think they could. This is supposed to be humorous, but it's beyond ridiculous.
Phil: please, do yourself a favor, and make this Newsom op-ed disappear too!
