Chronicle Writes Conflicting Stories on King Day BreakfastRandy Shawbyline‚ Jan. 19‚ 2006The Chronicle has recently devoted considerable space to stories about faked memoirs (James Frey’s bestseller) and authors (J.T. Leroy) who do not really exist. It’s now time for the paper to explain how it wrote two stories on consecutive days that completely contradicted each other. On Tuesday, Carla Marinucci reported that the “New” Arnold Schwarzenegger got a “surprisingly warm welcome” from the heavily Democratic breakfast crowd. But on Wednesday, the Chronicle’s Matier & Ross reported that the Governor’s appearance “angered city labor leaders” in attendance, and that the governor’s appearance “set off fireworks, some of which are still exploding.” Rather than wait for the paper to get its story straight, we will reveal which Chronicle story told the truth. |
