Just curious: what is the Chron for?
This is a genuine question, triggered by a Joe Garofoli blog post at the Chron, in an interview with Republican former-NY governor George Pataki:
"San Francisco should be able to do anything it wants [about health care legislation]," Pataki said. "But I don't want Speaker Pelosi and partisan majorities in Congress to impose their views of health care -- government run health care -- on every single person in every corner of this country.
(Quick point: FactCheck.org and other nonpartisan truth-squaders point out that the law is NOT government-run health care.)
So the Chron is NOT a non-partisan truth-squader, or at least it does not think of itself as such.
And it's true: the Chron has no standing anymore, and no interest either, in telling the truth. Mostly the Chron repeats whatever they saw on Fox, and it delegates the truth seeking to FactCheck.org.
Remind me: what is the Chron's business again?
