A new winner for media bias...

I made a blog recently detailing some of the most biased instances of "journalism" in the race for governor since the primary... with 19 really bad hit jobs and misleading articles (link). Now there's a new number one (link)...

Some GOP stalwarts plan to vote for Bill White

Among the reasons: Hutchison defeat, honesty, 'smarts', eminent domain

By JOE HOLLEY
HOUSTON CHRONICLE

Incredibly... no mention of the dozens and dozens of Democrats who have endorsed Rick... of course it wasn't really reported when he got the endorsements in the first place so maybe Joe Holley just didn't know about it...

Of course a few peeps will be sour grapes voters... this always happens in tough primaries... but this article makes no mention of the various polls that have been done showing Rick strongly consolidating those Kay peeps behind him... the article makes no mention of Kay's entire finance team that now is on Rick's team... the article just takes the liberty to bash Rick and encourage moderates to vote for Bill White...

How was this "article" not on the editorial page?

By far this is the most biased article I have read in months.

Congratulations Houston Chronicle you have out done yourself...

Hey now, campaign characters. Be nice. I know a lot of you on both sides, so I don't want any overly foul language, personal attacks on anyone other than the candidates themselves, or other party fouls. I will moderate the heck out of you if you start breaking the bounds of civility.
